Anyway, as far as the Compendium data I'm perfectly happy to go by the rules of the road, you can allow people to access the actual compendium's data and re-present it/use it for whatever purposes as long as you're accessing it via the user's valid DDI account. For my own purposes I figure I can make a program that caches some of the data as long as I don't give it away, or use it when I don't have an account. Obviously if we were talking about being able to run a sort of alternate compendium of our own at some undefined future point where the WotC one went away, then we'd have to generate our own data (IE enter everything into our own database). I'd cross that bridge at the time, but either way the front-end parts are the first thing.Flash-based, yeah. Quite polished too, though I have only spent 2 minutes just now playing with it. My only beef is I really am not going to want to put tons of data out on some site somewhere that is someone's hobby and is likely to vanish in a week. If I could set up a power2ool as part of my XWiki and keep my own data, that would be awesome (I could think of some integration things that could be done with this at that point, but anyway). As for Linux, well, 10 years makes a huge difference. Really, unless you do windows development, the tools on like FC17 that I'm using now are just way way better. Honestly, even for doing windows apps you're not loosing much, if anything. VS is not bad, but we've got equally good tools. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Every time I have to do something on some Windows machine it drives me crazy, the UI is retarded and the command line is a joke! lol.Yeah, it is an interesting sort of mix of features. I'll have to play around with it some more. Thx!</blockquote>
