I am not sure if the current version just needs some minor
fixes or a complete rewrite based on lessons learned.

When it still was accessible for me, I've been using the Parts Tracker a lot.
In my opinion the latest version of this site was working quite well already,
especially since Zach added the ability to delete your own records. I feel
there is not very much left to improve on the program. The only missing option
I can think of, is a routine that copies a parts description from the "Wanted
Parts"- list into the "Tracked Parts"-list. At the same time this option should
add a label to the original record in the "Wanted Parts"-list, stating that
someone has claimed to model the part.

Earlier, I asked:
 Jacob, do you mean with this that you don't experience any
 problems with the LDraw Parts Tracker?

Jacob Sparre Andersen replied:
No. It hasn't disappeared, but it definitely appears that it
needs to be fixed/improved/updated.

Well, for me, trying to view the site with Microsoft Internet Explorer, the
Parts Tracker has been permanently down since the end of October. I realy miss
it.

Greetings, Manfred Moolhuysen.

(...) The only other thing I'd want is a "MyParts" page, where an author could update just their own entries, without scrolling through everything in the current list. Would make it easier to update stuff already added to the list. Steve (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.cad.dev)
