  Great work. I've got a couple of quibbles, but they should not obscure how well
thought out your suggestion is.

1)Very few new users will be able to wade through a 200 word explanation of a
database design that resolves problems that have existed since before the Internet.
The interface designers will have two choices: Find a better explanation, or
find a way to let new users search without knowing about this level of complexity.


Absolutely. The interface is key. The main reason that I wrote so much is that
I'm trying to sell existing users on the value of this change. Explaining how
to actually interact with the improved catalog would be much easier to describe.

I was thinking about making a few mock-up screenshots of how some frequently
used pages might look if this catalog change was implemented under BL's current
design.

  2) I will be very disappointed if it turns out that the database design has not
been finalized for Bricklink 2.0. This may be a better suggestion for v2.1


Yeah. I wish we knew more about the progress on the updated site. As far as I
know we have not yet heard even an estimates timeframe. I'm imagining Q2 2013.

Hi,
up to now Catmins are not involved in ANY possible catalog database design changes.
