compiled / searchable parts database with links to the set guide?

Hi,


Did anyone compile the inventories that were posted here
in a machine-readable format, possibly even integrating it with
the data from set inventories at lugnet? I'd really like to continue
the work of Tim Vattima.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Set guide contained links
to the (existing) set inventories? I intend to spend a few days
during Christmas with a database / search engine on my home server;
but I could also contribute my programming skills (and those few
days ;-) ) to lugnet.


Regards,
Hakan

well, we started creating something similar, but didn't import any external
data yet:

Yep, that's just what I meant... With Lugnet, you and me,
we will have three distinct implementations of the same functionality.
I think we *really* should throw our efforts together to create
*one* implementation (which could coincidentally be hosted on
lugnet).

But then again, just about everyone has his or her own
implementation of sets -> htmlpages ;-)


Regards,
Hakan

the biggest thing everyone should agree on is the nameing convention...  We
used partsref and partid for ours, which seemed to be the most complete and
easy to use convention...  All the rest is really easy to transform, from
one format to another...

This is great!

Todd:  How about linking the element count in the set guide to the
corresponding inventory page on dands site?
