        My initial search (about 1 year back) didn't give anything with all the
needs I had. I kept my eys open for emerging projects but I found
nothing since.
        Does anyone know of a similar project ?
        As for the data formats I use XML for communication (an SQL database
for persistence) so any conversion from/to another format should not
cost too much.

GPL.
