In fact adding complete support for converting any new ebook format to libprs500 requires the writing of only two converters format->html and html->format as well as a metadata reading/writing tool. All the other features of libprs500 will work automatically with these three converters in place.

Kovid:
Please go start a page on your wiki about contributing to and/or reusing libprs500. Stick this post in as the initial entry. Add a plea for someone to contribute the command-line database access (since you haven't had time yet).
And how 'bout a sticky thread here titled 'Writing Code for libprs500'? You could manage q&a and probably pick up some more contributors that way.
And, once again...
for a super tool!
