> What is UpLib ?

A personal digital library system that uses PyLucene for search (and
to implement some of the fancier parts, like mail folders in the IMAP
mail server).

I'm looking for more beta testers; if you'd like to sign up, just
create an account on the blog and you'll be put on the beta list.

Incidentally, if Chandler has any Lotus Agenda-style free-form
annotation parsing code, I'd like to incorporate that into UpLib.

Well, that's what I'm wondering...

Yes, I'd love to know the answers to these questions, too.
