As you can see, our admin staff is TOP NOTCH!
I'm really impressed with the site. Thanks very much to all who take the time to keep it running and improve it.
While on the subject of database formats, etc. - has anyone considered the idea of having a 'general notes' section for entries? I'm thinking of something that would not display by default but could be clicked on to 'drill down' into an entry to provide details of how a particular frequency or talk group is used, in much the same way as you can click on an FCC license number in an entry to get information about the license.
For example, there have been recent public and private discussions about the Williamson County, Texas system and how certain channels are used. Some useful information about relationships between channels has been provided, but there currently seems to be no good public way of sharing this with future visitors to those pages. Given how many systems are in the midst of transition to digital and currently have a patchwork of old and new channels in use, this type of information can be extremely helpful.
I suppose that some day this might be addressed in the Wiki, but there may be other useful ways to collect this type of data, too. I'd be interested to hear thoughts from the admins on the general idea. Certainly you would not want to clutter every entry with a free-form text field that's printed by default, but is there a sane way to have a 'channel notes' section that could be clicked on?
