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 like to see an example for accounting.. how to best store invoices, etc. and their references to the accounting soft..
Academic-type of research database with notes, attachments of various formats etc.
Second an academic-type research database.
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.
Like to see them both….. an accounting & the academic..or am I too greedy? 😉
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.
an iphone app, one that lets me store one or more databases on my iphone
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.
@Carsten: Thank you for this suggestion but I asked for ideas for example databases 😀
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.
I am working on one for criminal lawyers. happy to share.
I work in IT, and dabble in physics/philosophy, I heard about this software in a book I am reading and I would really like to check it out, I could see it revolutionizing our knowledge base… I would LOVE to see it be released for M$ support. 😀 PLEASE!
@ Dan: You could get a Mac and run Windows on it for the software not available for OS X 🙂
I could, OR you could just make your software compatible with 91.91% of the desktop market.
Maybe its just me but there limiting your product to the 6.4% of people who own a mac seems to be counter-intuitive, especially since this software is all about connecting ideas, not separating them.

A genealogy database please.
