Are there a lot of people or groups out there who have digital records that are not yet in eBird?
A few years back, I wrote a program to format my records from AviSys to put into eBird based on an export of my data into a csv format. If anyone has AviSys and wants to import their old records into eBird (and they don't already own version 6.0 which has an eBird export tool), I can process their data using the program and spit out the appropriate file type for import into eBird. I may even be able to put my program up on the web so others could do the work themselves rather than me processing the data and passing it back to you. Depending on the response to this email, that may end up being the reality of it all. Also, if you have other non-Excel programs (Excel to eBird import tool: here) for databasing your birding checklists, if one individual could send me a txt or csv file, I could try to write a similar program for that software. Let me know if there is interest out there and I will start working on some programs in my spare time. Or maybe I am jumping the gun and others have already written programs like this to parse their personal data and we could all share these for use by the community. Are there others who have done this yet? Does your program already have an export to eBird method that you can take advantage of? Let's talk it out and see what comes of it all.
