With a server side database the development time for a barebones randomiser would probably be a weekend job, it'd immediately be cross platform and could be expanded to include new CH's quite easily.cockherolover wrote:Yes.

Assuming we think up a decent database structure the most time consuming part would be transferring in the existing timecodes from their current XML format, this could be attached onto an existing database quite easily if you already have a list of titles/authors/forum links in that database.
I wouldn't be able to make any promises on a reliable development schedule though, it is a much easier project when done on the web with an existing functional video interface with support for starting times.
Solves most of the issues that held my first attempt up, Java was always a bit heavy handed for what the project required.
