Thanks for the post. It really does read quite similar to spam I get at my webmaster address at deadlists.com. But I take it from the follow up that this is a genuine offer of pro bono assistance with the DeadLists project.
Ironcially enough, we've had 75% of the code written, in two different platforms, for more than a year now (almost 2 years, in fact)! Kevin Weil wrote a scenario in ASP/SQLserver. Ben Brewer wrote a scenario in PHP/mySQL. Both, of course, are web-interfaced. The main stumbling block has been the data. No one has stepped forward AND FOLLOWED THROUGH with cleaning it up enough to get it into a robust solution. The one possible way to avoid better data cleanup needs was to not parse the data as closely as we had originally planned (making searching/tracking/analysing timings, transitions, etc. more difficult). But last I recall, this shortcut wasn't to everyone's liking. -- Which is a long-winded way to say: Rather than start from scratch, perhaps Rockwell can help us fill the gap between where we're at and where we want to go. Contact me off-list and we can pursue this further with the guys who have made the progress to date. --- Rockwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello: > I can create what you need.
