Default Re: Mod Reference DBs ?

I could do see doing it in linux. Its really easy to setup automated DBing from text files. Then all you would have to do is download each new mod and run the script.

I was thinking of something along the same line. I did a quck check of mods awhile back to get some idea of which ones get lots of downloads. Nearly all of them did but some more than others. I noticed that having a graphic page of all the images seemed to help the numbers so I was thinking of an automation for that (which also could be done). Maybe do both at once and interface it to a wiki for comments.

That puts us closer but unfortunately still without someone motivated enough to do it. Sorry.
