[pilot-db-list] merge tools and you

[<Cyb...@ao...>]

Ok I am a C and ASM coder who is looking to do a couple things and am wondering if 1. anyone wants to join and 2. where to get the information. 
I am going to design something that will do the fallowing. 
Using all opensource tools. Design a system where a movie database can be made using pilot-db that can keep in sync multiple palm pilots as well as a online site that has the movies listed. 
My hopes is to eventually have a method where for example a movie can be added to the website using imdb information and then plug in a pilot and have it sync with the database on the pilot as well as other pilots between themselves. Also to have it where if a movie is added to a pilot all the pilots update as well as the website. 
Some of you already know that I have an extremely large movie collection somewhere around 600+ and this type of system is what is needed to keep me from going crazy when I go to a movie store as well as when friends as me what movies I have and want me to loan them one. 
I am hoping to also have this system be able to be used by both windows and linux people without much hassle. 
Any info/ideas would be awesome.

I think it's a great idea.  Even just the merge portion w/o the web is a
great idea.  I've been wanting the ability to merge, especially though the
IR port.  My wife and I both have palms and keep the same db's of our books
and movies, it would be great to be able to update them seperately and then
merge them together.  I include a 'own/want/loaned' column so we also list
ones that we don't have but want, if you don't already have that in the
plan, it would be a good addition.
