A few new ideas for the collection tool on COA:
1) To avoid selecting by hands hundreds of checkboxes, add an alternative text field interface for selecting issues you own, such as "1-123,501-999" (ranges delimited by commas or annother character). This should be a big improvement, and it will eventually be done.
2) Let people selecting issues they're looking for, and double copies (or issues they may give away/exchange). That way you would be able to who's offering issues you're interested in. Although this could be useful, maybe, I'm not sure we want to be involved in anything that might be commercial. And maybe auction websites are already sufficient ? I'd be interested to have feedbacks on this !
One final thing: an alternative collection managment tool (no connection with Inducks) for French speaking users was recently created. It allows importing one's collection from Inducks, giving the username/password. I've asked the person in charge to ask users to copy/paste from this page instead (it is made for that!) and I suggest not using it for now, as there's no reason to give your COA password to another website. But on the principle, you're of course free to use anny external tool you wish with your data.
