Hi all-
This has been laying fallow for a while, but today I came to the
web interface for the first time in a long long long time (I
usually use Netscape's less-than-stellar newsreader), and thought
about the utility of having inventory links for people who for
whatever reason don't like running multiple browsers or newsreaders.
So I headed over to the .admin.database group and went up to the
search engine, because I don't want to post something that's been
beaten to death already, and found only this kernel from last year:

There were no responses at the time (I didn't even know this NG
existed before tonight) but it seems like a good idea--and it
would definitely lower the number of clicks and drags one must
do for inventories. It would also allow us an easy way to see
if something has been inventoried or not--I was amazed to see
that 3053 Emperor's Stronghold has not yet been done (I'll do
it if I buy one Friday), because I was sure that it had by now.
Moreover, it seems to me that it would be another great feature to
hook those who just stumble into LUGNET, and IIRC it's something
that no other set database seems to have done. Much information
here is considered public-domain, but I don't think anyone has
yet culled all the set inventories and used them in that way.
Is this something feasible, or is it just another pain-in-the-
kiester request for our already-beleaguered admins? :)
best
Lindsay
