I think its good enough to start thinking about a UI. It's largely based on what Uri has on his personal books site plus a few extras that are needed for something that will be used by multiple users. If you want to start thinking about UI, here's some things to think about: - A front page where we can list things like most recent reviews, most recently added books, most popular Perl books, most popular computer books, most popular general books, most prolific reviewers, etc. These might be some sort of sidebar (kind of like the slashboxes on Slashdot and use Perl). The center could have a featured book (something the admins would set) and maybe a section for a generic news headline where we might put something about a new perl book. - search form. Search for books by: -- title -- author -- publisher -- ISBN -- category -- copyright year -- checkbox for only books with reviews - search results (with paging controls) - a page for a single book. All the book's info (hmm, we need a way to have cover images) plus any reviews available. There should be an option for logged in users to write a review and/or rank the book (1-10). - a form for submitting a new book That would be the bulk of the site, plus some admin pieces which don't have to look fancy. Uri may have some ideas for other pages as well. -dave /*================== www.urth.org we await the New Sun ==================*/
