[Xenocide-programming] Namesdatabase reworking

[Tommy P. <to...@ho...>]

Hi all,

I was thinking of re-doing the entire names database and it's interface 
(I couldn't think of anything better to do as a web design project in 
school), making it work directly with the xml-database instead of first 
going through an sql-database.
One of the pro's is that we don't have the risk of the sql-database 
breaking down and leaving us with an half-complete xml-file.
It also allows the use of Unicode, which brings me to why I'm posting here.

Previously we decided to use the ASCII charset because of font 
(/engine?) limitations. Has that changed or should I still stick with ASCII?

Also, maybe these kinds of tools can be developed and used for other 
xml-files we might have, x-net and such?
