[QUOTE="soulcatcher, post: 1185461, member: 5940"] *sigh* My position on this has been unwavering from the begining of this thread. This sort of interoperability is positive, healthy, and desirable. I (once again) have no beef with TR and CS, and the desire to make it work alongside with pcgen, using the user's data. As far as the lst files, I know that CS does not intend to use them. I put forward again, that perhaps the 4 major packages can sit down at some point, and define a source data file type that they all participate in maintaining. One would note that even if a file doesn't have all the information needed, if it's XML, one can easily use XSLT and a second XML file containing the extra information needed for that package. Centralizing at least some of the information is better then nothing. (course this does mean we all need to be able to read XML ;) ) The above paragraph may appear to not jive with my previous statements, but it really does....the important difference is that we would all be drawing from a pool that we all helped fill, and volunteers who assisted in this project would do so from the beginning with an understanding that the data would be used in open source, AND close applications.
