Cool. So something to think about between now and when we start 2.0 is:

What are the core attributes for a device?

So obviously things like id, model, marketing name, manufacture, screen size, 
screen resolution, cpu type???, etc.

Things to exclude are attributes which are specific to the browser or OS. But 
we need to repeat this exercise for them too.

An issue, how do we bridge the legacy devices which have some kind of embedded 
browser and we can only deduce the browser/OS attributes from the device. Also, 
how do we classify desktops and bots as devices.

Just some food for thought... :)

I think once the 'tables'/views of the RDBMS I mentioned earlier are
visible etc the task of overhauling the data will be considerably
simplified, mainly because of the many ad hoc queries you can run on it.

For example a query over 'versions' reveals that certain properties
were added to all or sub-sets of all devices 'in one go', all with the
same default values.

My main point is : we then have a way to approach this systematically.

By the end of the week...
