[librecat-dev] catmandu for simple usecases

[Marc Chantreux]

hello people,

i'm out for library IT for a while now and i don't know how relevant
this mail is ... please let me know if i say something stupid.

i write loads of papers and memos nowadays (using vim, pandoc, m4 and
make and latex to create pdf documents) and i need to add biblios to
them. i would like to complete my toolkit with some tools i describe
below and i would like to know if you think catmandu is the good
tool for it (maybe maximum overkill... just let me know).

regards
marc

description of the tools i need

* query a remote library with CC licenced records. queries
  are simple:

  * search a book by matching in title
  * search a book by matching in author
  * search related/suggested books for a book ID
  * search FR translations for a book ID

* store some some of them into a tiny local storage (a yaml file should be
   perfect)
* use those storages to maintain bibliographies

ideal usecase of an higher level wrapper usable from the CLI should be

    $ book search \
        author like Hafner \
        title  like Wizard
