[OLPC library] Book Server v 0.01 -- offline reading with a Sheeva Plug & Pathagar server

[Samuel Klein]

Dear library lovers,

There has been some recent work on making archives of digital works easier
to use and share, both online and offline.  The OPDS 'book server' standard
for sharing an archive of books (and other media) has grown up, and has many
programs and apps that support it.  Some OLPC hackers have developed a
simple implementation of it, called Pathagar (thanks, Sayamindu!).  And
Uruguay may soon be implementing a bookserver on all of their school
servers.

Recently Sameer Verma of OLPC-SF has set up a bookserver build that he's
deploying as a standalone appliance in a small school in India with
computers for their children:

Contributions to Pathagar and bookreading clients like Get Books, and
contributions of archives and book suggestions, are both welcome.  We'll be
using this list for related discussions in the coming weeks.

Sam.
