Sure, we'd do.  I hope to see new DB dumps and will look at those once
they show up. Maybe it's not even all that hard. Some years ago, I've
had a look at software to manage collections, some had specific
support for books. Maybe these are quite mature by now... I'll have
another look at those.

GIT would be nice. I'd prefer it over everything else :)
