I am curious. I got Chris' reply email in my inbox today stamped at 1:11 pm, but I
never received the initial email from Maia that was sent at 7:46 this morning. I have
noticed this on other occassions as well. Is anyone else getting reply messages but not
the initial message??? Can a mod please address this? Thanks,
Dave Colestock

During the recent caller's survey, I
think a database of dances was at
the top of the list of what online resource callers wanted.
There have been several attempts at creating a dance
database over the
past decade-plus. They have all fizzled out, primarily for
lack of
volunteers with sufficient drive, free time, and coding
experience to
create such a beast.
(Data entry and getting permissions requires less technical
skill, and
can be farmed out amongst a larger committee.)

Hi all,
I'm currently in programming school casting about for
programming projects,
and I had the idea of a giant searchable contradance
database, where you can
filter by move combination, etc.
My question: is this something people would be
interested in having? Or does
it run the risk of infringing on intellectual
property,
or shortchanging
dance writers on book sales, etc.? (Obviously no
dances
would be included
without the author's permission, but it may be
that
making a huge ton of
dances freely available and searchable in one place
online would be a death
blow to published books of dances, or have some other
negative effect I'm
not foreseeing right now...)
Anyway: does anyone have any thoughts on this project?
Cheers,
Maia
