OK, my two cents... With information already in hand about who requested info for a S/N, etc. this could easily be put into a database but that would only be the tip of the iceberg. I have noticed that for all the ones who request a S/N, only very few of them ever followup with what they did with their canoe, did they restore it? did they sell it? where is it now? There would have to be a commitiment by all wooden canoe owners to inform WCHA of all changes is condition, location, ownership, etc. for all the data to be entered and worthwhile. The administrators would get stuck with the work. Maybe a fee for service arrangement! If there was a small charge when people request info, only those truely interested would reply and maybe we would have a good chance of getting updated information. WCHA could earn money and become the warehouse for information on all remaining wooden canoes. It sure would be nice but, what about servers, etc. I guess it sounds neat until you look into what would be involved and who would have to do the work. It's too bad that only the wooden canoe owners would really care. If there were really interest, I would offer to help with MS Access as the dBase... CYA
