New Syncato Web Admin UI
Kimbro Staken – author of Syncato – is planning to add an enhanced web administration interface to the next release.
The screenshots show that it will have an entry and editing UI, with a checkbox list of categories. It will also have a table view to display all entries, their author, date, etc.
This is of course for managing a weblog. But is it just me, or is this not unlike a bibliographic record management UI?
In the weblog entry interface, for example, there is a “title” field and a “body” field. The first represents the metadata for the entry (I assume author and data is added behind the scenes), and the second the content. What if there was a way to plug in different metadata models? In my case, it’d be for bibliographic metadata. The “body” would then be notes attached to that record.
That, along with a way to authenticate access, would make a nice bibliographic management system.
