Setting it up as a database will be difficult because we rely on Liam to design these things then he leaves me (or at least someone besides himself) to do the content side of things usually. I know Liam is quite busy with work, Uni and everything else, so won't have a great deal of time to do that.
Content-wise, I'm a bit pushed for time lately too. Scott has been working on the indep fleet lists a lot recently and updating the ANE one as/when things occur. Aureolin has a few things up his sleeve re tendered services, but I'm not sure if anything has come of it yet.
Doing it on a thread would be good though. We should use this as an opportunity to gather ideas so we can think about how we'll do it.
Something I've been working on in terms of collating the data. Councils and the PTE so far have been forthcoming with the information, but unfortunately it's not of a standard. I'm looking to review and go back to a few over the next week or so, and we'll see where we are from there. I'm hoping it's no more than quarterly, and also that I can get the councils to supply me the info without prompt.
Once we have all the info, we can probably determine how frequent it needs to be updated and what format it is best displayed in. The current of an Excel file isn't suitable, as it's not friendly for mobiles and some tablets. Web based would probably be better.
