I really like the notes section in the sets database. I love reading these
notes and have been making an effort to write notes for sets I own to
contribute to this.
However, it would be nice to be able to get access to longer reviews than
can be written in one line. Currently reviews are all over the place, posted
as messages to all manner of lugnet groups as well as various people's
private WWW sites etc. Obviously including the complete reviews would
clutter up the database too much, but would it be possible for a note to
have an associated URL (as a separate field, not embedded in the note) to
provide a click to a larger review?
That way, the set database would be the entrypoint for any review that any
member chose to contribute without cluttering up the set database with the
reviews themselves. Then notes could serve as an "executive summary" of a
longer review, and interested people could follow the links to read the full
review.
