Now that we've mostly agreed that it's probably useful for at least some librarians to know something about programming, I'm kind of curious to know what others feel are some of the #1 all-time best uses to which they have applied their programming chops. In other words, if programming skills are useful in libraries, what are they useful for? Now, I think I know the general answers to that question, and I'm familiar with, say, the impressive list of tools and projects over at oss4lib, but I'm more interested here in projects that are specific to your library (or other organization). What programming-type projects have you undertaken that really had some benefit in that context? (Alternatively, what projects would you like to undertake if the time and/or skills were available?)
