Would anyone like to take over?

RATMNL:
... if there was any FE support anywhere for such an endeavour.

Howard_Casto:
That's great and I wish you all the luck in the world, but I fail to see what a catlist has to do with controls.dat. 

Much like mame, controls.dat is a documentation project... we literally document the physical controls of a game and if at all possible the labels that were printed for said controls on the cpo.  Catlist is sort of a gray area thing, seeing as how categories are subjective. 

I'm probably misunderstanding something, but controls.dat is not a part of catlist nor vice-versa. 

RATMNL:
That we all know, I suppose, Disussion got offtopic (my bad, I suppose.)

Anyway.. controls.dat, similar discussion...

I do not have experience with the controls.dat project... but I am an aspiring web developer and I think you, some one else, or I could create a web app written in ruby on rails. Using the default sqlite database is fine. It's a single file. Easy to work with and you could implement it into a desktop app. Update it online through a web form. You could easily output a json and xml view template with ruby on rails. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to generate an ini file too. People could view and download a current version instantly. Just an idea.

SirPoonga:
Long time no visit. I appreciate saint hosting for me. I am seriously thinking about getting a windows server and redoing this project in ASP.NET MVC. I need to get come experience with modern web app development.

Looking back at this cod it is ugly. I can tell I was fresh out of college when I started the project.

The problem with the project as it stands is it is not that flexible to mame changes. And it doesn't containa change history in the db. The only history is the generated files.  But then when I created this I was trying to get something usable as quickly as possible.
