I think I'm looking to do much the same thing -- I have a bunch of database records that I want to output in a uniform way, 1 per page, all linked under a parent page that lists them.
What I'd come up with recently was to use a combination of the RecordTags extension (http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/RecordTags) and virtual pages. I haven't implemented this yet, so I can't give you much practical advice -- it's just the strategy I'm planning on using. The author of RecordTags admits that it's pretty alpha, so beware. Keith: Trying to browse your SVN, I get a login box. Do you have some kind of read only access you wouldn't mind giving out to the list?
