Re: [TenTec] We need a volunteer

Rick-

I have this, in queue, as a project and was planning to ask what sort of 
image
formats folks use for their drawings and whether or not they would like 
to enter
text or not. If text, a block for the subject or a block per drawing, or 
both.
Also a bunch of questions I've not thought of yet. Which is why I haven't
asked yet :-)

It will have a database back end like the catalog 
http://edebris.com/catalog2/

If you want to play with the catalog, it allows for demo or for creating 
your
own account. Right now it's using 'banannas' instead of real dollars so 
if you make
an account I may have to add a few banannas before you can put in many 
photos.
The reason for this is that when done, I'm going to offer as combo 
catalog image
hosting for guys who want to sell their edebris. I do NOT have a mind to 
charge
anything for hosting drawings/hobby content. The catalog has over 5000 
photos in it.

Anyway, that's what I have. If you want to look/play and then tell me 
more of what
you have in mind, we can see how it fits in with the ideas I already 
have for this
project and it might be incentive to move the project up in the queue a bit.

You might also look at http://bama.edebris.com
This also has a database back end and is a collection of manuals, I 
mirror for Ken
who runs BAMA(BoatAnchor Manual Archive) but this will soon become the
primary BAMA server. The BAMA database is about 8GB.

Last of all, if a bunch of folks get interested in this, I can crank up 
a mailing list
in just a few minutes so as not to disturb the tentec guys...
