This is the first app I made for a Serbian well known publishing company, named “Sluzbeni Glasnik”. It was a custom project for their encyclopaedic section, aimed at streamlining the editorial process. It was a predecessor of IntAzb app I made a year later.

The idea was to track a book preparation process from very start to the very end, since it has to pass through a number of different hands on it’s way to book stores. Authors, editors, translators and other staff working on it have their responsibilities and deadlines they must meet. The app was intended to track their performance, and also the costs of the book.

Though ambitiously conceived, the app was not used as much as I hoped, mainly because the editorial staff was not willing to participate in everyday usage, as they felt that filling in the app data was a burden on them and they “already have too much to do” 🙂 The more probable reason was that they did not want to be tracked 🙂
