Discussion on GURPS 4E Revised or Database

I think the only reasonable option at this time is essentially a database driven index. Rather then include the rules, traits, monsters and what not it just lists the titles, rule names, costs and a few basic things you can find in the free PDFs they already make available.
Also a UI form for adding House rules and such, as well as flagging campagn specific items to filter things.

This I think fits within the SJG guidelines and might get permission to publish. A content inclusive item however would not and would require some major overhead and liscening discussions.
Of course making the index is about as much work as making it so it includes contact :( The advantage there though is it gets you a working model if the company decides to go that route at some future time.
However would enough people be interested in that to justify it?
