In a nutshell
syn2stock is - going to be - a system written in Python that allows you to check out / check in books & papers from the library in the Hackerspace with the help of QR Code technology. The QR Code is printed on each members membership card and it contains the GNUPG ID and the fingerprint of the GNUPG key and thus we identify the owner of the card. The system will be expanded to other stuff in the space after the basic version - library implementation - is working properly.
Concept
The idea is it to write an application that indexes all of our "borrowable" or dynamic stuff, like books in the library or Arduino boards. The items should be handled in a database by the application and it should be reachable as website/interface too. The webinterface serves as information platform, like which book has been lent out by whom and when will it be back again approximately.
The system to borrow an item could be handled by the member cards of syn2cat. Because they should be equipped with bar code, magnetic tape or RFID technology.

Why not a more ambitious topology figure?
Such a figure will come soon, when we sure that the first part is going to be implemented like the description above. This should just serve as a draft.
