It woudl help, but it't still a little steep :)

Some suggestions that would be even cooler:

List which sets that can be built from the parts I own, ignoring the sets I
already own, in two levels...

The problem is that figuring this out is very database intensive -
generating a comeplete list, comparing each members part list with over
2500 inventories, well, that would be prohibitivly expensive.  Maybe we
could have a report "requested", and emailed to you when it'll be done
(after hours/days, depending on load).

I understand that. The e-mail function could work, or perhaps the server can
store the files and compute them when idle? Perhaps also send an optional
e-mail when the users file has been updated.

Preferably ignoring sets Brickshelf don't have instructions for,
that info should be availible on Lugnet if it's not already in the
Peeron database.

Peeron already has that information - note the "Building instruction"
links :)

I'll be over here, in this corner studying the paint for a while.

To make the list and computing effort lower perhaps this could be
broken down into several subthemes, such as town, technic etc..

It sometimes takes close to a minute for a single set - there's no way
we could have it finish within a reasonable timeframe for interactive
access.

True.

After a "Try to build", it would be neat if Peeron could produce a "Shopping
list" for Bricklink etc.. Especially since Peeron has links to stores, perhaps
it could even point out the store (which is connected to Peeron) that has most
of the parts or all of them.

nod, good idea :)

Glad you like it!  Keep the ideas flowing :)

I will!
