hi,

i read there are many valuable databases, and many up to date. Good work.

Is there a place where to get up to date (i.e. in time wtih developper's work) comprehensive description of tables, how they join, what they are related to, what piece of code uses what field, ...

or is it something you acquire through months of digging in the code, browsing the forum, grepping archives ?

Thanks for advice.

Actually, funny enough I intend to accomplish this task. I'm at school now and don't have a lot of time to talk, but I plan on writing a somewhat detailed explanation for aspiring worldbuilders.

More information will follow, but just know that it'll contain a description of all you need to know to start understanding the table structure, and possibly a slight explanation as to what interacts with what part of the code. I started writing this a couple months ago, and have somewhat orphaned it due to finals at school.

I need specific input though.

That's it ! If you want help, give description of the document (organisation / templates / index building ...) so that we can produce parts of it, and what parts you want worked on, if any.

I need specific input though.
What do you mean ?

Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for!
