Ok, so if I am following what you are saying correctly then; If a standard for event announcement was formalized, then as each webmaster updated their own page using that standard the community calander would notice and update itself accordingly?

Even if that isn’t exaclty what you were thinking, then is that the sort of thing you are talking about? (Which if it is, is pretty cool.)

Actually that’s backwards. Administrators could update information through a central web-interface and then any information they wanted displayed on their own pages would be done using web objects that retrieve information from various community databases.

For example,
A central site registry where you put the URL for your site into a db could be used to allow anyone to link to your site on their own page using a web object which would automatically update if you change your URL in the central database, i.e. no one would actually have to know your URL, just how to link to you using a web object.

More powerfully,
as I mentioned in the interview, we could standardize our color-names if TLC gave us that info (which they subsequently did). I think simple implementations like this would be a good place to start: colors, part numbers, set numbers (again TLC determines those), etc.
