[urq] New (to me) UrQ owner and couple questions

[Peter]

Is it really that big in terms of the amount of NLA (this is purely a nieve
question of course)?  I was going to arrange the parts in the same manner
you find them in ETKA, in a visual and fast tree menu system.  So basically
you pick the category (Engine/clutch, rear axle, etc etc) and then listed
are the parts by # and description.  The order that they come in EKTA would
also be preserved and this way would minimize the confusion and make the
browing of the lists VERY easy (used to be a web/software developer in a
past life lol).

Perhaps color coding parts...for example, keeping all NLA parts in the list
black, however crucial parts as you mention would be colored in blue text,
standing out and making it very easy to see when browsing.  This can also be
a filter, so one can browse the entire catalog or just the crucial "blue"
parts or even search for something specific.

I still like the idea of producing the entire catalog however, which will
bring a greater awareness to the community of what is to be treated with
care before its too late and also might assist in the lobbying that seems to
be going on with AudiAG.  (Just a thought)

Thank you for offering the fiche up for use in the project.. I am sure that
will come in very handy as this project moves along.
