but since you gave a hand to Star Wars Fanatic and Rinspeed in creating IGCB, maybe someone could make an aircraft database with a little help from you.
Sure, but Rinspeed knew enough PHP to make few changes himself with my help (I did not make the changes myself), and he knew how to host a website
but how much time would a site like IMCDB or IGCB require to maintain, once the site is designed and some guidelines are set, surely it doesn't require hours every day?
Indeed if I do not check comments etc. it probably do not require much time. But who is responsible of the site contents then?
I do not know how much a website costs to run, antp will have to answer that.
I do not know for IGCD but for IMCDB Google Ads pay more than what the hosting costs.
For starting the site at the same provider than IMCDB it would cost less than 30 € per year (currently IMCDB hosting costs a little less than 300 € / year but it will be more within less than 1 year: the site grows)
I would fine with the Aircraft database using the same design and colours as this site, except with a picture of a plane at the top instead of the Pontiac GTO. We could use the same star rating system as this site.
What about current make/model system? Is that compatible with aircraft? We already have problems with the tanks and other military stuff which do not really follow that naming scheme... (cf the Cadillac tanks and other disputed names)
