*Sayamindu's proposed a workflow that proceeds thusly: | |||
**1. Have a specified directory on the file system which is crawled periodically via cron. | |||
**2. If a new file is found, metadata is extracted either from the file, or from an external CSV file which is also found at a fixed location (CSV so that deployments can use any spreadsheet software while adding | |||
books.) | |||
**3. Once metadata is obtained successfully the file is added to the index. The index is then generated into OPDS catalogs, which can be queried from any XO to the XS. | |||
