Hi Huw,
My apologies - I hadn't realised that there was already an online tracker
out there.
I certainly hadn't intended stepping on anyone else's toes with PaBTrak - I
saw that people were recording inventories in many different areas and
wanted to develop an easily updatable, community driven centralised site.
It looks like it may be in our interests to help each other out - either
with the sharing of data of perhaps more...
I'll contact you by email to outline my plan for PaBTrak, and see if there's
anything we can do together.
Once again - sorry if I stepped on the The Brickish Association's toes
there.
Richard.
