I agree. However, this would limit people to the item, character and rules implementations that we have created. (Which is okay for the less tech-savvy modders). But it would prevent people from writing their own rules and character, etc. implementations. Of course, if you manage a db design that is so flexible that it can be used for most types of implementations, that would be okay. But I think it will not be that easy to understand anymore. As with CVS, you get those at berlios.de, savannah.nongu.org or sourceforge.net for free, and I imagine that somebody who can setup a database can also use a CVS (and explain its usage to other community members.)
