Today it says the site is "relaunching soon". |

The Inventaire project uses [[MediaWiki]] software for their knowledgebase at https://wiki.inventaire.io/wiki/Main_Page <ref>https://github.com/inventaire/inventaire-mediawiki</ref>, and you can import your LibraryThing data into Inventaire <ref>https://wiki.inventaire.io/wiki/How_to_add_a_book_to_my_inventory</ref> |
