Nope, it was never realistic to create a detailed list for all of our components. The main reason being the absurd amount of time it would take for *one* person to do. A secondary reason would be that some parts aren't particularly easy to identify their specific type. (Some have had their markings rubbed off, others are coated in thermal compound, still others are from a time before the internet existed)
My goals (3) were the following: To organize them into groups (resisters in this zone, capacitors in another, mounting hardware in another etc.). For the electronic components I tried to organize them based on their values, but it is still very much WIP. This isn't as ideal, and a list would help, but at least you can look in the zone and find something easier..... To consolidate the multiple drawers of identical parts. And therefore free up space for new parts/ better organization. And finally to move some of the more ancient (and unlikely to be used) parts into a box under the workbench. Again to free up space. I also wanted to start a partkeepr database, but its not worth anyone's time to catalog what is there already in any detail. If we set up the database and going forward use it, then one day it might actually be useful. That said, sadly there isn't much use for most of the parts we have currently as there isn't much call for 5amp PNP transistors along with piles and piles of weird resistor values in this, the era of the Arduino. Also, most of our members are interested in different branches of technology rather than electronics and so there doesn't seem to be much interest in modernizing and or utilizing the current inventory. I was going to start a small catalog for some of the CMOS/TTL chips there, but a lack of time has thus far prevented that.
