Error Description and Diagnostic Markup Language (EDDML) - Summary
This group is not part of the GNU Project.
A utility that allows retrieval of rich diagnostic information given an error code.
In a sense, this project could be described as a super-grep of header files - this is often the way that developers look up error codes when they are not sure of their origin. This in itself is a useful function, however the goals of the project are much larger.
The main goals of the project are:
a) to create a standard xml format for the description of error codes and additional information that could be useful for resolution of error conditions, including such things as causes with suggested resolutions, notes on the error condition, and other useful information
b) to provide a command line utility which allows queries based on error codes and to provide information about those error codes using files created in the xml format described in a). The audience being end users, developers, system admninistrators and anyone who has a need to know what an error code means and what to do about it.
c) to provide a shared library which may be used by applications to take advantage of the extended information available about error codes in the xml format, and to lessen the burden of presenting and maintaining error condition information to end users
d) to promote the use of the library in c), and of course the creation of error translation files in format a)

License: Other license - Due to the nature of the project I wish to use several GNU licenses.
The utility will use the GNU Genral Public License V2
The shared library will use the GNU Lesser General Public License
The xml translation documents will either use the GNU Free Documentation License or the GNU General Public License - I must confess I am unsure which is the best choice
Development Status: 3 - Alpha

I discovered that I never checked in a couple of essential files required to build 0.1 - oops! This release includes those files.

Finally there is something in the dowload section: the initial alpha release version 0.1 at https://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=libeddml
I believe this to be reasonably stable but of course it is an alpha release so please do expect there to be bugs. Please do report any bugs you find.
