 I've had a look at the program and while it's still a bit too simple to be
really useful, it would be great to have a nice cross-platform library
management program, I'd gladly use it (and maybe contribute to it) myself.
In fact I even started writing something like this for my personal needs
but never had time to really finish it. I do have a (somewhat more
"advanced") database schema for the library database and code (in Perl) to
import book data from Amazon via their web services, contact me if you'd be
interested.

 Also, before starting to write it myself, I had a look at as many
available programs as I could, I didn't find any which would be:

- cross-platform
- have decent export feature (e.g. export to text or XML to send your
  library list to someone else; export to HTML to put it on your web site)
- supported easily adding modules to import data from other places (all
  programs support amazon.com but I wanted to also import book data from
  amazon.fr (some programs did support this too) and ozon.ru (no programs
  did))
- could understand the concept of "original" and "translated" books which
  I think is really needed by anyone who has books in English and other
  language(s)

So this could maybe give you some ideas about what your program should do
to be better than all the others ;-)

 Good luck!
