[IRCServices] cheers. ideas.

[&quot]

This is the ideal situation...

However, those who have worked with developing software that can handle
"modules" will probably know that it is not something one does in one Sunday
afternoon.

On this note, I've considered moving the databases to a text based format
using XML. Because the databases are pretty much "read-only" (all changes
HAVE to be made via Services itself) this would allow for a pretty wide
range of applications to use them.

I'm busy writing a test program that I'm going to want as many people to
test as possible to ensure that the XML lib that I'm using is going to work
everywhere. This is because the current database format will be replaced by
the new one.

Are there any thoughts or concerns on using XML/text to store the
information?
