Anyway, I’d like to enter PaB data from other LEGO stores. If anyone wants
to e-mail me some of that information, I would greatly appreciate it, but
please contact me first before sending data... I’d like for the part
information to be mapped back to a X/Y coordinate on the PaB wall -- this
will make updating the information much easier later...

I would like to provide brickfo for the PaB wall at Bel Square, WA as soon as I
get to go there again.
Suggestion:
Instead of X/Y, use R/C, R for Row, C for Column. Even for those of us
familiar
with X/Y, it’s a bit confusing which is which, since X and Y
don’t literally
stand for anything that pertains to a PaB wall.
If you do implement R/C, keep
X/Y until everyone becomes familiar with R/C
and X/Y is no longer used.
Another suggestion:
Have an option to display the entries in an images-only
grid, corresponding to
the wall, with each space filled with its respective
brick/piece in the wall.
Similar to the
Thumbnail Gallery display option in Bricklink’s catalog.
And another suggestion:
Those PaB trees... Have a grid for each tree. Number the trees depending on
their position in the store, left-to-right (as seen from the entrance) or
front-to-back.
The sides of each tree would be numbered clockwise, assign 12
o’clock to the
side farthest from the store entrance, unless there’s a better
way, say, the
trees might be numbered themselves, and each tree might have its
own “north”
side, or each tree has its own color.
Or even have store personnel
visibly assign each tree a number and a north side.
Geographical north may also
be used.
