What would you like to see?

For DEVONthink 2.0 I am currently overhauling the example databases that we provide (they’re still in 1.x format). These databases serve both as examples on how to set up a DEVONthink database for a specific purpose and as a template that gets you started. Now my question is: What example databases would you like to see? And: Do you have a database that you think is worth sharing? Please email me or comment here.

    I’d also like to see something along the lines of an advanced academic database with notes containing links to various documents as well as some tips about how best to structure a database. While i find the forums to be invaluable for general discussion on such issues, it’d be great to see it in practice.

    Third the academic database, but also a more-than-one database structure. Maybe an academic one (classes, students, presentations), a separate research one, maybe a personal one. Reason being: all these things in one database makes it very large and cumbersome. Just a thought. Thanks.

    a research one (e.g. for journalistic purposes, and a second one for private things like scanned invoices (as image or as searchable pdf?).

    As we’re not working in academics I have asked our users to help me out here. See my user forum thread.

    Thanks Eric. I also would really appreciate an example academic research database.

    Information for pastors and lay leaders who store articles, quotes, and clips for sermon and lesson preparation. There are a lot of pastors who use DevonThink.

    A genealogy research database would be good.

    Managing project/opportunity related documents/emails would be very helpful.

    A detailed tutorial about DT and scanner resolution and quality settings needed for printing, online reading, or search/archive-only purposes, and: what happens with the original document after OCR import and subsequent export as files.
