Pilot log book software for Linux?

[amos@gezernet.co.il (Amos Shapira)]

Hi,

I'm a glider pilot (but sometimes take an hour of engined flight
lesson) and the thing I miss the most right now is a good pilot log
book program which I can use under Linux.

The way it would look if I had time to write it would be a Java or
Gnome application which saves its data in XML format, export/import
to/from comma-separated file format and extensive intelligence
(e.g. figure out the cost of a flight from the time, method of launch,
number of seats, who I flew with (instructor vs. a guest vs. a club
member), figure out the data about the aircraft (seats, price, owner,
type) from its designation.  Automatic summery of columns by aircraft
type, flight type, period (last 6 months vs. last 12 months), launch
method etc.

Having a version in Java should help a lot in making this portable -
I'm looking forward to be able to run such a beast on my Psion 5,
portability is also a reason for using XML.

Does anyone know about such a thing, or plan to write one?  I'd love
to write it (and polish my Java, XML and maybe CORBA on the way) but
I lack the time.

Thanks,
