Speaking as the current maintainer of the lamers script, I
welcome your modifications.
Moreover, this gives me an excellent opportunity to start
discussion of an idea I've had bouncing around in my head for quite
some time -- I've always wanted to do an enhanced centralized version
of lamers, one where people all over the world send raw summarized
data to a central address, where all this information is put together
and then checked.
Indeed, I even own a domain name that could be very well suited
to hosting something like this, and I'm in the process of moving it
to a system where I've got complete control of the virtual machine,
and should be able to run suitable scripts to process these sorts of
things.
What do you think? Would you folks be interested in helping me
to create this centralized lamers process? If I could give you a
script that you could run on a nightly or weekly basis and would send
me the data, would you be willing to do so?
