Ok so here's my idea for solving the sequence prefix issue (if there is one, it may just be my pet peeve). The issue (in my view) is this: the fact that everyone takes out-of-order numbers. Perhaps when submitting an age (thats another part, see below), it tells you (thru the magic of a db and php) what the prefix # should be (it picks the next unused number). Then we have someone who reviews the file and makes sure the prefix is right. Once it passes screening, it is then made public.
My idea for UAM is to actually make a website (uam.agebuilder.org?) for uploading the files to the uam server. It would have 3-7 boxes where you would put the locations of the prps on your computer, as well as the fni, sum, and python files plus the automatically-generated prefix #. The site would get an ftp connection to the server, and the age would be checked by a human (I'd do it, if nobody else wants to) for the right prefix, and to make sure it isn't spam, I guess.
Yes, the prefix fix (ha ha) would require all old fan ages to be reinstalled to avoid prefix clashes, and the site would have to be written, but I can see it working... :huh:
Of course, it's just an idea. :rolleyes:
