[QUOTE="Siberys, post: 5934272, member: 30619"] Well, this project is moving along very nicely! I've set up the UI and the search-and-display functionality. I decided to table the functionality where it would display the full rules text, though, for a number of reasons; • Now I don't have to develop a Content Management System for the thing. :P • Data entry - even with just a few cells for each rules element - is going to take a long time. It'd take even longer if I had to format the rules text for each element too! • With the system I have set up, I think I can put this online for anyone to use. At most, it will be the name of an element, a couple of columns useful for sorting through the stuff (Level, superrole, and role for monsters, for example), and a source reference so you know in which book to check for it. That all falls under fair use, I think - you'd still need the book to get the full usefulness out of it, anyways. If I did the full rules-text look up, I'd have to drop it behind a log-in wall and I'd be the only one able to use it. So now comes phase two - data entry. I'd like to ask the community for volunteers to help with this; I'll be able to do it myself, but it may take a while. With some people helping, I could have this fully functional that much sooner. If you're interested, PM me and I'll send you instructions. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
