Features
Bauble is designed to be simple, elegant intuitive.

Bauble is cross-platform. Bauble supports both Linux Windows could easily be ported to other platforms if there was interest.

Bauble can use different database backends is tested against SQLite PostgreSQL.

Bauble can generate reports through an XSL formatter backend. There is no fancy report designer but there is an interface allows you to pass the results of a search through an XSL formatter. This allows you to layout your data any way you wish save it in a just about any format you can imagine including PDF, XML, or HTML. Hopefully we’ll get something a but more user(i.e. non-techy) friendly in the future.

Bauble supports tagging. You can tag any arbitrary data stored in a Bauble managed database with arbitrary names. This way you can create collections of records organized the way you want with names you give them.
