Overview

Lib_PAD (part of Library) is a logbook, mission-log, diary and interface. AddOns can implement data to get important organisations, events, systems or persons exposed to the player in an unified way. It also ships search functionality, a way to customize players data (species, gender, etc) and players can also add own notes.
