BARSOOM, BARSOOM, BARSOOM...

I have been hoping for this since Pathfinder first came out...

Loving it...

So I've started making a Web App. I don't know how long it will take me to put it up(or where in the nine hells I'm going to get it hosted when its done), but I've been going through the playtest, and collecting a big list of all of the racial options - outside of the pre-build packages.

The idea is I want to put them all into a DB, with some possible suggested pricing (it should include all of the playtest pricing, as well as pricing from one or two other race-building system pricings if I can manage it), and an option for people to vote on what they think the prices of individual items should be.

Then it'll calculate an average based on the user votes.

The goal will be to allow users to sort it in a variety of ways as well, and essentially you'll be sorting through the whole list, and deciding which items you think are as good, worse than, or better than, which other items. Maybe even being able to rearrange them as you change the ratings.

It should be able to take that information, and use it to calculate the prices of various pre-packaged elements, such as races, types, subtypes, and sizes.

Basically its a computer-aided feedback tool for this playtest.

To let users change their ratings, I was thinking that I'd use the "login via facebook" plugin.

So far I've got an incomplete list, and some page layout.

I'm interested in help with this undertaking, if anyone else is interested in helping.

It's going to be a jquery/javascript/php/mysql project. If we can get this done asap, then people can use it asap.

What do people think?

[Edit] I'm thinking that maybe a better approach might be to have them sort them in terms of power, and have them assign numbers to a handful of the top and bottom ones, and have it automatically generate the middle ranked ones, then let them adjust them after.
