I think this is a good idea as well. The vine originator would need to
add the vine to the database. How about a couple more fields - date
received and date sent?
So each person on the vine would update their entry to show date
received/date sent, so its easy to track the vine progress.

if and how it's going to work.
I'm not sure how each database would get started. Would this be
something that the vine originator would start out?

Well it won't tell who had it last unless folks remove their name
from it after they send the discs on. Some will and some would forget.
We would probably still need to send email to the list with progress
reports. It should keep the list in order though. Still would be a
radical change and I don't think we should do it unless everyone (or
at least a large majority) thinks it's a good idea.

If it will eliminate all doubt about who is in what order to receive
something and who had it last then I think it's an idea whose time is
long over due.
Mr. Skull
What would you guys think about keeping the list of vine
participants on the website? It should eliminate the getting out of
order problem. The list of participants would be stationary instead of
traveling with each email and running the risk of becoming mangled. We
could make a database for each vine. Check out the example I made here.
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Zappa-List/database
Play with it. Try adding yourself to the example vine by clicking on
add record. Try making an all new example vine by clicking on
create table from the main database page the link goes to.
Just an idea I was kicking around for a tweak to the system. Check
it out and say what you think. To complicated, to hard to get to, you
like it or whatever.
