The Final List

[Paul Jaray]

Actually the task is quite easy, or at least it is the way I'm developing it.
I start from the last puzzle of the last page of a given year and proceed backwards towards the 1st. In case one of the old ones is updated along the process, it will be encountered at the end and won't be missed.

Here's a sample:
You have here in each column:
Maker-Model-Cross reference-year-tag about the builder-tag about the car-....

There are then several columns that I'll use to sort the lists at the end: one for the mechanicals (and I can list all the mini-based, VW-based and so on), one about the wheels (3-wheelers, 6-wheelers, etc) and a couple more for a lot of different tags (advertising car, kit car, rendering, replica, amphibious, etc etc.)

Keep in mind that this is what I decided for my project, once I decided to proceed alone for myself: I put there what I need for my other project (the neverending list).
If I'm no longer alone on that, we can decide together what is interesting and what is not, which tags are to be used and which ones are not.

I do not know if it can be done, but it might be an idea to add tags to solved puzzles, to create an easy way to search everything... in a more useful way then the search function that can be mislead by tiping errors or just missing words...
Do you know if it's possible?

[Paul Jaray]

There's a way, but I'm afraid it's quite long...you have to add them one by one at each puzzle.
This is what I'm doing in my new project but you have to chose your tags first and once again that is the hard part.
In a search you sometimes look for 3-wheelers or mini-based, etc...and those are easy tags. But when you look for a car made by an University, or a selfbuilt car or a car from Taiwan, you are looking for the maker of it.
I'm giving tags to models (3-wheeler, mini-based, etc) and one to makers (made by an university, selfbuilt, etc...): this is the only way, I think.

Yes, to add tags to every old puzzle it's long... but if new puzzle will have a tag function the classification of future puzzle will be easier, and at the same time we can add tags to previous puzzles...

This is the only part I understand:

seems to be quite simple and very useful!
