Sounds good to me! I'm going to begin by designing the database to hold
the data,
and deciding on the best method to catalog the parts, or the best existing
database
to use for the parts.
Any suggestions on which database?
I'd also like to get a list of things people would like to see this thing do
once it's
completed, that way the database can be better designed. Here's a list of
my wants:
1. Search for the parts in a particluar set.
2. Search for all sets with parts matching a list.
3. Search for sets that have X in the name
I will also like to include pictures of each part.
As of now, the site where it will be hosted is at:
http://www.perceive.net/lego/
it may move in the future if I shell out some cash for a another domain.
