Carlo, Thanks for the offer of help! Dave, thanks for the suggestions, I think those are all good. In fact, I think none of this is that hard to do, but it will take some time. For what it's worth, I think the data should be stored in a 'proper' relational database, if for no other reason than to make it easier and faster to search. It will also make many of the 'fancier' features (user comments) easier to implement. At this point, I think the most immediate need is (as Dave mentioned yesterday) to identify a reasonable format for the data at both upload time and at download time. For upload, we'd certainly want a web form where fields could be filled in or parsed from a file following a 'Standard Data File Format'. There have been a couple attempts at a 'Standard' data format either for data collection or at least data exchange. I would guess that if we do this right with a newly revised database that we could set what that standard was (at least for data exchange). Certainly we'll make ifeffit/athena/artemis read these files easily. But we should probably think about what is needed for a more universal and long-term format. I know Bruce has thought about this some and worked on a proposed format. Hopefully he'll post that. --Matt
