Non-techies need data in better formats than (...) (27 years ago, 8-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.db.inv)

So it's really a sub-database of the larger database. The "Brictionary" part is (...)

| (...) Steve, I totally agree what is needed is a complete classification/taxonomy system so you can find a part. The naming component is useful and interesting but this project should be a parts database not just a name database. If the (...)

Of course, I'd love to contribute to just about any effort to establish a public db for part identification and reference.

| I don't think you'll be able to use Excel macros to do the type of processing that inventory work requires. You need a programming language that includes native string data types, grep-style regular expression pattern matching, and associative (...)

| This seems like it is reaching critical mass (a good thing) and perhaps at this point a dedicated newsgroup should be created for this (i.e., efforts to standardize parts nomenclature).
