Hi Anand: This is great! I actually just went through the process of reverse-engineering that structure, though, as http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/books hasn't been updated to include this new format and as I was working from that page to update and enhance the OpenLibrary plugin for Evergreen, I was surprised and delighted by the extra details. I would have updated the page myself but that part of the wiki appears to be locked down. So I went to post to the mailing list and found this... nice! Can I ask you (or someone) to update http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/books accordingly? I'm sure it will help other developers get to their destination a lot faster. -- Dan Scott Laurentian University _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
