@dalias @rdonoghue <3, but also for forums I'd honestly consider just a non-federating instance of () with a web client.

What should I use for files?

INI kinda sucks for a number of reasons, works but it's JSON, its derivatives are much the same but harder to parse...

Would that be a reasonably good match for ?

sucks as a user-facing anything.

I though of s-exps but the reality of intern bombing & arbitrary execution in the Lisp reader make me rather reluctant to keep using that now.

I like the idea of using shell, pipes and commands to manipulate databases and to extract and format data.

That's also possible with e.g. or , but with the storage format is more human-readable and might be more suitable for certain projects.

Anybody here using GNU ?

gnu.org/software/recutils/

"GNU Recutils is a set of tools and libraries to access human-editable, plain text databases called recfiles.

The data is stored as a sequence of records, each record containing an arbitrary number of named fields.

The picture below shows a sample database containing information about GNU packages, along with the main features provided by Recutils."
