I read with interest the annoucement over in .lego about www.pabtrak.com
and, having visited the home page and read what the site aims to achieve, I
thought I'd let you all know about what we in the Brickish Association have
been using to track P-a-B selections in the UK for the last two years or so.
We have our own 'bulk tracker' which until now has been available only to
members, and which is updated by members as and when they visit the various
outlets.
In the interests of generating interest in the subject and maybe influencing
Richard's development, I have produced a version which is available on the
public side of our website at http://www.brickish.org/bulktracker/.
This public version lacks the ability to update the inventory, which still
needs to be done by BA members, but otherwise it's feature complete. As you
will see it is only really useful for UK shops, because although we have
some other outlets listed they are not updated very often, due, of course,
to the majority of our members being UK based.
To take it to the stage where non-members can update it requires a bit of
work that I haven't found time to do, and to be honest the addition of new
parts into the system would need improving prior to any wider launch. But,
it has served us well and is appreciated by our members.
I look forward to seeing Richard's system, and welcome your comments about
mine.
