I never wanted to compete with Peeron.com, so right now the more probable
outcome is Peeroml will forever live on my hard disk.
Or will someone offer me another chance?

Hi Damien,
I fear that even with Dan and Jennifer Bogers cooperation this project may not
spread too far as most people are unlikely to learn a new language (especially
one with such strange syntax as OCaml) just for database enquiries for Lego. It
is nice to see so much enthusiasm but perhaps it could be more efficiently
directed.
For any future projects I would recommend asking for permission and agreement
from existing stakeholders before beginning, either privately or publically.
Cooperation usually involves both parties working together from the start or at
least being aware of each other.
To release something which uses another persons work (both in copyright and
database) without first asking them is actually quite rude. Although I’m sure
you didn’t intend to do so, you are stealing from that person. I understand the
difficulties in trying to communicate in someone elses language but that is even
more reason to contact people first.
I’m sorry if this sounds harsh but I am just trying to give you some advice to
help you in the future. I look forward to seeing other projects from you.
Yours,
Tim
