OK I hereby volunteer myself as a collector and as a coder for the buffydb, and I think all the cool kids will want to do one or the other or both, right?
Re: collecting? Ple's already baggsed Wesley, right? Or do we say dibbsed? In that case I want to adopt Faith! Also Willie. I have a soft spot for that guy.
Nobody really needs to claim Buffy, because she's in every ep, but even Buffy, Willow and Xander have had their doubles and their twins and their doppelgängers, so maybe "Twins, etc of main characters" is a category for someone to adopt?
Re: coding? If we think we've already mapped out the structure of the database, we need to start thinking about functions.
We need "edit person", as discussed, so that we can tick Joss as writer, director, composer, etc on an ep-by-ep basis.
What else do we need? "Edit Episode" of course, to put in synopses and snarkage. Does any registered member get to add their own snark to an episode?
What about the voting thing we talked about before?
Just throwing the ideas out there...
Can someone link to the discussion of structure from before? Was it in the Bad Old Days on WX or what?
Re: collecting? Ple's already baggsed Wesley, right? Or do we say dibbsed?
Depends if she's claiming collection rights, or already has him trussed up in is basement struggling against his constraints (which, if she's had him there for a while, is by now probably just for show).
That would make my basement so much more interesting...

I can collect the Danny Strong data, too.
It was on WX, which is down.
I may have saved some of it to my local machine. I'll check when I get home.
But why are the remaining verses in a new font size?
An excellent question for which I have no answer. You'd think they'd all use the browser default, but the open

tag is causing all sorts of zany behavior.

I remember ita posting a lovely diagram of the structure, which was promptly eaten by a WX outage later that night.
Getting back to the problem of IDing when someone's tag is more than 255 characters, I just spotted this script in a email newsletter I get. It's pretty nifty, though it may be overkill. Interestingly, it seems to count the carriage return as two characters, which is what we wanted. I'm confused as to why it's doing that since it's using the same length method as what I was testing with before.
I'll find Dead Gay Larry.
Which is such an odd sentence, when you've looked at it for a while.
