That's an idea, how about a Wiki-style site? Maybe give some type of reward (or higher "status") for contributing?

Yup, been pondering it for a while. There's just not enough hours in the day to execute on all the ideas floating around.

The problem with a wiki-type format for something like this would be that we would have to customize the heck out of it to be able to get it to operate how we want. It would be a lot easier, and more practical, to just hand-code a simple application that would allow us (as in the community) to input all of the required information into a database.

If this is something as a community that we would want, I would be more than happy to throw something together in my spare time. In reality it wouldn't be a very difficult application to code as it would just enter information into a a database and than search the information for the required features the user would want.

I'll start playing around with some code tonight for you guys

Don't be hijacking this thread you two - I think Jason did it on purpose so many of us don't show up to the inauguration party. You know, FREE drinks and all.

Sorry, can't do it. It's top secret and if you showed you, we would have to do away with you... and then who would I crack jokes with?! You're just to important to see the "Big Book of Editor-thingies".
