I've got Margo Kubiak's castle/pirate lists compiled into an Excel spreadsheet
and am adding LDraw part numbers to it; I hope to do the same with the
Christian Rasmussen's Adventurers and Michael Hopkins' Ninjas. If some
mechanism could be written such that a flat-file database could be
automatically turned into a cross-refenced set of web pages like Peeron.com and
Tim Vattima's, it would allow all these sets - and people's personal
inventories - to be used by Partsref. I'm sorry to say, I don't have a clue
how to go about this but I'd love to learn. It seems I'm not alone - will a
programmer step up and help us out?
Cheers, Heather
