Extension talk:BookManager

Extension:Collection
Does this interface with the existing collection extension?--Eloquence 19:06, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * In some sense, yes. The initial syntax for defining "which pages belongs to a book" was borrowed from that used in Collection's pages. An advantage is that this would reduce duplication of effort from Wikibooks' editors while organizing the books, since both the "automatic navigation bars", and "pdf/odf versions" could be made from an single page (the book's collection page), where the list of chapters would be stored.
 * I think BookManager should, ideally, act as a complement to Collection, addressing the specific needs of Wikibooks projects (Wikisources too?) and, if possible, both extensions should share a common list or table of chapters. Currently, this extension tries to provide the third feature suggested by Whiteknight on English Wikibooks (and requested on 15073), which should serve as a replacement for the current "manual navigation bar" used on Wikibooks projects.
