if your computer and connection are too weak to import, are you sure it is sufficient to run it?
I'm assuming you mean to import this into Links SQL.
I've thought about this issue for awhile, and while GT is in the perfect position to offer this service, it would take probably a new machine and staff person to offer it.
It would involve importing the database on a monthly cycle, then using the power of MySQL and perl, to create dump-files of the various sections or customized dumps for people.
I can actually visualize a way for this to happen in a fairly easy, but inelegant fashion.
I hesitate, because Alex/GT can make this service available, and with their experience with RDF might be able to make it better than I could ever find the time to do.
But, I can schedule a "test window" for, lets say 2 weeks. If there are enough people who want cuts from the database, to make it worth my time/effort, I'll give it a shot. What this means, is enough people to make it so that the cost of a cut would be in the $50-150 range, depending how big your cut was. Either post your "wish list" here or email it to me if you'd like it private. If enough people jump on this, I'll do it, at least once -- or try to. If successful, I could turn it into a plug-in, that would install the cut and update it on a regular basis.
There are a few problems that would need to be overcome, but in all the stuff I have on the table, I think I see my way clear of them, logically, and the trick would be implementing it ie: tagging links to categories, then importing them into a variety of variable layouts. Not impossible, and not even terribly difficult, _IF_ the database was already imported into a MySQL/SQL database before cutting.
BTW... At an estimated 10-14 hours of CPU/computer time, and a variable amout of human time, plus the port to your system and installation of the database, you are looking at a minimum of something in the order of $500-$1500 in costs (maybe more). That's why I'm curious if there are enough people to divide the costs up over, the price could be a _reasonable_ monthly recurring fee type thing, or a one time deal.
I'm curious what people think.
