The Nexus History

The Nexus was written during 2005 in a quest to catalogue all my books, CDs, and DVDs before they were boxed, shelved, and stored prior to a move from Australia to London. What started as an experiment with Web APIs for downloading covers, quickly turned into something bigger.

I talked to some friends with collections larger than most state libraries, most of them had written their own home-brewed solutions. The process of combining all their 'must haves' together with my own formed the basis of The Nexus.

Now, after almost a year of development, The Nexus has been released in closed beta to those friends and colleagues who helped shape the project. Once they're done poking holes, we'll release a public version for the masses to enjoy.

Until then, we're very keen to hear your 'must haves' for a book/CD/DVD library system. To find out what's there already check out the website.
