Hackfest 2005, associated with the Access conference (Edmonton, Alberta,
Oct. 17) needs projects! A roomful of library geeks stand ready to
realize your dream application! (Or at least come as close to it as
possible in a day's work). Please submit a brief description of your
idea here:

http://access2005.library.ualberta.ca/hackfest/

Hackfest is a "collaborative effort to solve real world library problems
using freely available tools". Projects can be large or small, easy or
difficult. Results are not in any way guaranteed, but are likely to
range from clever-but-unfinished to surprisingly-useful to
no-one-chose-this-project.
