Description:
------------
  daDrill is a web-based graphical tool for managing a collection of
bibliographical references.  daDrill allows the user to add references,
browse the available references, query the database for keywords.  In
addition, daDrill automatically indexes author names when adding a reference,
so papers can also be grouped by author.

daDrill is made to be compatible with the BibTeX format.  New entries can be
entered by copy-pasting a BibTeX file.  Entries are internally stored by
preserving all BibTeX fields.  Moreover, each entry can be re-exported as a
well-formatted BibTeX string.  Author names that are automatically added are
automatically split into 4 parts in the same way as BibTeX does.

In addition to standard support for all BibTeX fields, daDrill also offers a
few extended features.  A plain-text comment can be entered for every
reference, thus providing additional annotations for the user of the
database.  In addition to the regular URL BibTeX field, daDrill allows the
user to store a reference to a local PS or PDF file.  In the "paper details"
view, an clickable icon links to the local file that can be immediately
opened.

The entries are stored in a MySQL database.  The web interface is written in
PHP and uses either the 'mysql' or the new 'mysqli' PHP module.  Although the
system can be used remotely without any modification, it is principally
intented for a local use; in such case, a web server such as Apache is needed
with the PHP module, along with the MySQL server itself.

The project is currently at its version 0.5; all the functionalities listed
above are correctly working.
