Thanks for the link, I didn't know about this project. There are interesting ideas there, from the presentation point of view.  However from what I see it will be easier for me to start from scratch (we already began) than reusing something else. This is no NIH syndrome, rather the need to have total control on the database schema and the code in order to be able to implement the features we want.

(In fact we're not totally starting from scratch, because we're trying to join efforts with the sophie project)
