       That being said, would it be possible to distribute the
inventory data? I'd like to set up my own inventory database
inside my home network which isn't always connected to the 'net
(besides, my connection speed isn't the best either :-( )...

Well, the inventories there are all public data.  In a word, yes, it would be
possible to set something up.  It will not have any of the pictures, of course,
but I could set up something like

  http://peeron.com/inv/raw/8880   (not working, just an example)

that will give you the raw text file for that inventory.  Would that work?

:)


        Yes, that would be nice. Even better would be a possibility
to get *all* the inventories in one swoop (just a big .tar.bz2 or
.zip for the windows people).

        Would you, in turn, accept diff's done against those raw
files? We could even post our inventories in your "raw" format ;-)

        By the way, how does your own data storage look like? I
remember reading that you did some processing with perl, so I
assume that you have either one big text file or possibly a text
file for each inventory... Just curious, of course ;-)

(...) I'll set up the raw thing, but putting up an archive will just suck up extra bandwidth for us (and we do pay for it), and will not really add any value to the site. Dan (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.db.inv)
