I am wondering if it would be possible to mark up inventories with some
verification data.  For instance, with some inventories (particularly those
Jenn and Dan do themselves), it is known that the inventory was done using a
MISB set.  There are also inventories that have been done multiple times by
different people.  Are there any consistent guidelines on how the
inventories are marked and, if not, could we come up with some posted "rules"?

I'd like to echo the above sentiments.  Most of us are unlikely to find MISB
sets from 1980, but it would still be nice to have an inventory. . .and know
that the inventory was not as reliable as one from an MISB set.  (For example,
I bought a huge number of old Space and Town sets at a garage sale this weekend
and I doubt the most of them are inventoried, but the parts were mixed
together, so any inventories I were to do of them would be "from
instructions".)  Listing the source of the inventory would also be a way for
people to judge whether or not they should verify an inventory.  I would
recommend categories of: MISB or equivalent, catalog or box*, instructions, and
other.

And, a side note, I would like the Admins to consider changing the charter of
.db.inv to allow discussion.  There really isn't any other place that's
appropriate for discussion of inventories in general (sometimes .db.brictionry.
. .), and it would be confusing to invent a new newsgroup for that purpose.

*This category would apply to sets like Service Packs, whose inventories are
given in catalogs, and sets like those Basic sets that list their contents on
the packaging.

  Possibility of lugnet.db.inv.discussion?
 
Is there any possibility of getting a discussion group for lugnet.db.inv? It seems like we have enough non-data posts in lugnet.db.inv to warrant at least thinking about it. And almost every one of them starts out with "I know this isn't a (...) (23 years ago, 3-Aug-01, to lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.admin.general)

I realize this isn't supposed to be a discussion forum, but I'm not clear on where else to put something like this. I am wondering if it would be possible to mark up inventories with some verification data. For instance, with some inventories (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.db.inv)
