UPC Database: Feature Wish List

Feature Wish List

This is a list of features that I plan on adding to the site. They come from my own ideas, as well as from user feedback. They're roughly in the order they'll be done. Priority (read: my interest) is the biggest factor in this, but there are some situations where one feature is needed first or another can't be done, so that also plays a role. Also, if some specifics about how a feature will work have yet to be decided or figured out, that's going to push that feature down the list.

Please feel free to contact me by email to weigh in on priorities or details, or to submit new ideas. Or, even better, join the mailing list.

Make more use of user accounts. Access to some features will be limited to logged-in users. Modifications could be allowed without review for the same user that added (or last modified) the item. Different user levels will be established so that certain users would be able to make submissions without review. A small group of users will be able to review and approve others' submissions.
Extend the XML-RPC interface to allow add & modify transactions to be submitted. These functions will require authentication.
Expand from UPC only to UPC, EAN/UCC-13 and GTIN, including support in the XML-RPC interface. I'm slowing coming to terms with what will be required for this -- please be patient. In the mean time, it might be useful for me to have some data to start with. Please contact me if you can provide hundreds to thousands of UCC-13 or GTIN items.
Make result lists sortable by arbitrary columns.
Enhance the text search feature.
Entry/modification of manufacturer entries. Actually, I'm currently getting manufacturer names right from a UCC/GS1 web site, so I don't see the need for this. Instead, there are some things I've learned about the variable length manufacturer prefix that may help.
Batch submission of entries via CSV or Excel files.
