It is my pleasure to invite you to browse my first AOO/LO base add-on.
The beta version can be downloaded here: http://rezeau.info/public/gardenplants.zip
Description
The gardenplants application is an add-on to be used with Apache OpenOffice (AOO) or LibreOffice (LO) . It is aimed at enthusiast gardeners who wish to maintain a database of the plants in their garden, organized according to standard botanical principles.
No knowledge of the inner workings of AOO/LO base component is required, as a user-friendly interface is provided.
The gardenplants application consists of a main document with two forms for entering and browsing the database records. On the Edit Plants form/page, gardeners can enter detailed general information about the plants they have (or plan to have) in their garden. Such information can easily be found in horticultural manuals or on gardening websites.
On the Edit Specimens form/page, gardeners can enter specific information about those plant specimens that are actually planted in their own garden. Easy navigation is provided between the two forms.
Technical details
