(They just dump their data into text files that are stored willy-nilly all over the 'Net.) This app will store the transcription of the headstone, an optional picture, and some metadata; allow searching within or among cemetaries by name, date, geography, etc.; and provide a convenient data entry interface. (We'll see how much gets done during the meeting.) > > Phil > > -- thanks, -pate ------------------------- ParseTree is a little brown stinky ferret that digs down a hole and violently rips the AST away from the warm bosom of ruby. In other words, we cheat, they don't.
