######### REGISTRATION DETAILS ######### 

Full Name:
----------
  NovelWrite

System Group Name:
-----------------
  novelwrite

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

License:
-------- 
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  I plan on writing a software program which would help novel authors with
organisation, localisation, and management of chapters. This software I plan
on calling NovelWrite. NOTE: I do not have the source code written at this
moment, but I am to start within this or the next month.
The features I wish to include:
[*]Easy management of novel writing.
[*]Automatic chapter addition/modification/subtraction
[*]Add Prologues/Epilogues/Forewards/Introductions/Conclusions/etc.
[*]Archiving and compression to easily transfer data between media, such as
the internet, or via disks.
[*]Mary-Sue test, to stop authors on writing "fantasy" stories revolving
around themselves and making themselves the greatest thing ever to happen in
the story
[*]Character Profiling
[*]Brainstorming area, allowing you to create digital concept maps and/or
outlines of your story, on either a chapter level or on the entire novel.
[*]Password protection of projects, so only you have private access to your
story.
[*]Exporting to other formats - HTML, PDF, ABW (for AbiWord), SXW (for
OpenOffice), RTF, Plain Text (TXT), etc.
[*]Translation - create a sister project on the localisation of your novel.
[*]Spellcheck
[*]Rough Drafts, Final Drafts, etc.

NovelWrite will save the "novel" as a project. It will go on this basis:
[*]Folder/, like My Documents, where a Project can be stored.
[*][*]Project Folder/, containing data files for the "novel."
[*][*][*]mynovel.nov (data file will be a "nov" file. Will include
information like book title, summary, etc.)
[*][*][*]include_data/, where chapter data and such is stored.
[*][*][*][*]brainstorm/ (brainstorming area)
[*][*][*][*][*]outline.txt (story outline)
[*][*][*][*]prologue/, or ch*/ (where * is any number), or introduction/, or
epilogue/, etc.
[*][*][*][*][*]pro.abi, or ch*.abi (for chapter), intro.abi, epi.abi, etc.
(this is where the utilisation of AbiWord comes in)
[*][*][*][*]abandoned/ (where abandoned concepts go)
[*][*][*][*][*]pro_aband.abi, ch*_aband.abi, etc.
[*][*][*][*]images/ (where images may be stored that the author uses, usually
in JPG format)
[*][*][*][*][*]image.jpg (image itself. name may very)
[*][*][*]lang/ (language variations of the book if the author has made some)
[*][*][*][*]Language name (fra, spa, en-us, etc.)
[*][*][*][*][*](all the other tiers like in the project root folder go in
here. e.x. .../lang/spa/include_data/prologue/prologue.abi)

Please remember that I do not currently have any source code written, but I
may start within this month or the next.

Other Software Required:
