[Chicken-users] Ann: refdb egg now available

Refdb allows you to store values in a three level hash-table like structure of flat files. The resulting data is friendly to branching and merging which can allow parallel editing of the spreadsheet.

Only gnumeric is supported right now and the sheets must have unique row and column labels.

Documentation (such as it is) is here: http://www.kiatoa.com/fossils/refdb

Irrelevant aside: the example used in the documentation is from a real (albeit incomplete) project. Yes, Chicken Scheme is being used to control a vermiculture (worm composting) bin which will hopefully produced enough worms to supplement the feed to some quail. Sadly we have quail and not chickens :)

I call it my worm condo, here is a snippet from the controlling code:

23:50:26 => condo: 32.5 degC, 59.5 %RH ambient: 37.7 degC, 6.3 %RH fan: off
23:51:49 => condo: 32.5 degC, 60.2 %RH ambient: 37.7 degC, 6.0 %RH fan: on
23:52:10 => condo: 32.5 degC, 58.3 %RH ambient: 37.8 degC, 6.0 %RH fan: off
23:52:31 => condo: 32.5 degC, 56.7 %RH ambient: 37.7 degC, 5.6 %RH fan: off
23:52:51 => condo: 32.5 degC, 57.4 %RH ambient: 37.7 degC, 6.0 %RH fan: off
23:53:12 => condo: 32.5 degC, 56.7 %RH ambient: 37.7 degC, 6.0 %RH fan: off
23:53:33 => condo: 32.4 degC, 55.9 %RH ambient: 37.7 degC, 6.0 %RH fan: off


Thanks to Mario for so patiently coaching me on using fossil for publishing eggs and thanks to all the Chicken developers for Chicken.
