One reason I would like to see a clone database hosted by Lugnet would
so that it could have a consistent feel. Todd has gone to a lot of
effort to produce a good set database engine, why squander that effort
only on LEGO brand sets? If Todd doesn't want to host a clone database,
would he consider making his software available for someone else to run
a clone database?
Of course the side by side question would be would Kevin Loch be willing
to host clone instruction scans (which could be limited by how the
clones express their "license" to use them)?
