Search CSDB is really unfriendly :(
Hey guyz, i am not talking about the complexity of
the search Criteria options (for Advanced) which i see it really annoying and quite unfriendly , but my advice: why you don't copy my search parameters to "Advanced" . for ex: if i search for a certain release which i don't find in my normal search (type of item+name) and than click the "Advanced" i expect the criteria will be set for my search already. why should i see all the Groups/Release/Events/users and much more Parameters if i from the begining don't search for them. its a but hard to get it. im sorry if i sound a bit harsh but also the sort of the releases is random , instead of sort with latest releases (current date and down - "Desc") |

Quote: not true.
fact is, that most ppl that were offered to get involved, and had capability to get invovled, are lazy (and/or burn out... as far as I am concerned).
Anyway. When I saw this thread I felt slight interest in playing design of searching part of the site. Problem is that any of the serious code on any developed site feels more like job nowadays. But even in my 40 years, I still hope I will get my financial freedom back somehow sometimes and get back to having fun, doing things that are paid by "gratitude" of users... (at best).
time to offer to people who are willing. |

Modesty? The user base of this website is mostly composed of sceners, you'll have a hard time finding that trait here ;) |

its not like the data in here is owned by anybody, right? so anyone willing should be given the DB and lets see what site he can make on it. the crowd will settle around the best one anyway (or around the one the crowd wants) |

This is a public service, most of info is public, yes. But there is layer of more or less sensitive personal info behind the publicly visible stuff. You can dig out real names, addresses, you can find out various private info and connections, a lot of stuff that was visible and was erased can be found in logs. So (in my opinion) you can't just give anybody access to raw database and code. |

I personally think that all, what makes this db better for all of us, should be looked closer. I know ... not every idea is a good one or even simple to implement. Everybody has a different view ... so collect the most important ideas and look how to make them "useful". My 3.14159... cent
PS: I wished (and i think i am not alone) we could work together more to make this nice place more "suitable". |

you dont need the contents of the db to code a brand new csdb 2.0, all you need is the schema.
forking csdb would be a bad thing, so a newly built csdb 2.0 should be run by perff, but preferably coded by a different ppl.
when beta versions are ready, perff could just pull the latest source from github, set config for db and run it :) |
