Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] fallout user mod feature request

[Verdon V. <ve...@ve...>]

I think that's an awesome idea and would almost negate the need for my  
module altogether :)

All I would have to do is assemble some of those demographics and add a  
few personal settings.

Any kidding aside, having a central demographic repository would be  
useful for all sorts of 3rd party mods. The only issue it might cause  
in something like my rolodex, is that my vision supports the  
possibility of one admin user 'owning' many records and/or individual  
users 'owning' their own records concurrently. A central demographics  
mod wouldn't facilitate this, but I still like the idea in general.
