I took over the registry a bit more than three years ago. I converted it to use PHP and MySQL, running on my server, sandsmuseum.com. I tried to keep up with all the running changes and with all the new options offered each new year. Even though I now own an Exige, I have not made the necessary modifications to support it.
However as time passed I was less successful, partly because the changes were unknown to me, partly because I got tired of the updates, and partly because it seemed like no one was interested.
Hopefully someone will be excited about taking it over. You will need to be web development aware and be a programmer. I prefer it were hosted elsewhere but I am willing to negotiate. Volunteers?
For those if you who have never heard of the registry, look here:
Lotus Elise Registry, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Should no one step up, I will clean up the database, freeze the data and leave the existing information for display. It will no longer be possible to add more entries.
(The clean up is easy. All that is required is looking for entries that forgot to enter the manufacturing date, guessing on a date based on existing entries, and updating the field.)
Please contact me at sandsmuseum.com or send me a private message.
thanks,
Michael
