New features are still difficult to add unless you know exactly how it operates - plus the data probably could do with a lot of (and not just a few) fresh pairs of eyes going over it all.
We tried (the AL team) a few years ago to do a lot of updates but, like a lot of things, people wander off for 'real life' stuff and the creative juices stop flowing. There's a separate thread in the Atari Legend section which lists some of the requests - some of which have been requested a few years ago now.
I think (although I could be wrong) that the Amiga music preservation site went from it's original layout into a Wiki-layout and, whilst there were initial moans from the visitors, it enabled a lot more people with knowledge to add more details to each piece of music that was preserved. Maybe someone who knows Jools (Alex H?) could have a chat with him about what were the pros & cons of a Wikification?
Plus there's the work involved from years back when Brume, Silver Surfer and the others who originally set up AL - that all needs preserving in some way or other.

However, I have also seen the new skin that Brume was working on and it really does look slick. Hopefully this will make it into the live system one day.

I was thinking about this as well. Here is my thought. What about contacting Kim Lemon? I mean, he was very cooperative in the past and AL is linked to Lemon Amiga. Lemon Amiga and Lemon 64 have great stable cores. Lot of potential. What if he would be interested in some kind of partnership? We could use the LA interface for AL, and he gets the credit? Something like that. And perhaps a new nice skin can be build around the core.
Just an idea...
Take care all,

what kind of data from LGD would you like to see
