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

[Brandon Rogers]

My thought has been to have several columns for each NLA part - a P/N,
maybe a description, a cross reference to another manufacturer P/N (if
applicable) if NLA thru Audi, and then a column with a "fix" if part is
NLA and no cross reference.

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.
