No, this is deadly serious: if you feel like coding it up, we can always try it for comparison :). Last I checked, JavaScript is acceptable if not having JavaScript doesn't make the information inaccessible.
PHP is also acceptable, and as compared to JavaScript, more portable. The new library list, the alphabetical one, is a PHP page so that it shows the libraries available based on the release.
Currently I need to get my physical quantities library sorted out and make a formal review request, so I reckon I'll leave this until the new website is up. I've also got a vague idea to investigate a boost GUI... Meanwhile if anyone else feels inspired... please dont feel you'll be stepping on my toes ..... ;-)
And having a list with "columns" that can be sorted might be a reasonable way to manage it. It need not be displayed as columns, as that takes up more room. But having the various information available and sortable is very useful.
I suppose a full blown relational database is out of the question? Seriously isnt that the right way to do this? Or is that the status quo? If one wanted to do a more modular boost then that data would also be used to generate modules or packages on demand, the regression results go in, etc, etc. regards Andy Little
