Thanks, Mal. Have you thought about doing a count of Packards in the Registry? This could be interesting.


JW, thanks for bringing up that point. As I've watched the registry grow, I hoped that we could someday have a little statistical analysis - beyond the total count currently displayed (and calculated dynamically) at the top of the Registry homepage.

However, I'm not sure how fancy BigKev can get with that right now - like bar graphs, pie charts, etc. Also, there is a limit to how detailed we can get because of some past inconsistencies in entering model numbers and names. BigKev nipped much of the in the bud by creating drop-down lists of model numbers and names, culled from the Model Info database, for new additions, but some early entries still need cleaned-up.

For now, I'd think that we could at least get a summary view of how many entries per year and/or series, but I'd like to see a link to a separate page for registry stats. Then, perhaps BigKev could, optionally, provide sorting those lists by their counts.
