I have neither the adequate programming experience or skills with Calibre plugins to be able to do this myself, but would be motivated to give it a try if someone could help me out. I know a fair amount of Python, but have never modified Calibre before. Thanks!
This sounds very useful to me. But my programming skills are rather in the negative range.

If possible - which it may well not be - I'd like to be able to have more than one Dewey number for some books like "Correlations between immuno-neuro-endrocrinology and socio-eco-political indices". The OCLC's Classify tool reply does seem to list more than one DDC for some books.
