That looks interesting but has a learning curve associated with it. It says database modules. I could not get the demo to do anything other than listing source codes of pages. Are you familiar with that system? I was actually hoping that someone with experience would step up. Years ago I did databases with Access for an office, haven't done anything with them lately.

A couple of years ago we started a big push to get papercrete adopted into the building codes and part of that effort was a database of different mixes and results. There was a committee that met with online chat weekly, and a website was founded for the database and applicable documents. We were discussing testing and certification. The database was open for anyone to add recipes and discuss results, though it still needed some polishing.
One of the principals became upset from a situation that is probably not appropriate for discussion here, and left with the website in tow. About that time the effort deteriorated into a couple of the committee members chatting about whatever while waiting for others to show up.
With that said, I still think a cross reference of formulas and results would be invaluable both for newbies and for anyone who has to talk to a permitting and inspection authority. If we have anyone in the group that is conversant with online accessible databases and willing to put forth the effort to set it up, I have web space for it. The web server is running Linux Apache so the software would have to be compatible with that. I don't think yahoo offers anything appropriate within the groups system.

This is excellent. I think that it would be a good idea to put some of this info (like this post) into the file section of this site. I will have to look again at the files to see what we have as far as different subjects. I thought we had a file for formulas of mixes but I don't see it. I remember that we tried to do this once before. So it looks like we need a file on PC mix formulas. Any other thoughts on subjects that would be nice to have in one place? What do you think spaceman?
