Roaming Nomad is a tool to help web surfers organize their discoveries and navigate the web with greater ease.
It is a bookmark management system with some unique functions and easy web access so that you can add and view links from anywhere.
Note: this is application designed to be used as extranet application, installing it on your personal computer is not recommended. You want this to be able to access this from anywhere, don’t you? If you don’t have/(wish to pay) money for dedicated webserver, try some free web hosts, i.e. www.webzdarma.cz offers mysql hosting with php. It will work on your local computer, you just won’t be able to access it from other locations, which is one of the author’s primary goals.
For aditional info concering using Nomad, see Help.
Note: updated are incremental, if you go from version 0.3b to 0.6a, you have to apply all database patches inbetween.
