This started off as a thread, and then turned into a feature request:
------------ thread ------------------
I want to make Talk about Movies a forum, and add this as a sub forum, (but I don't know how, so in the meantime, ITT I want to maintain a list of the movies we have available at PMC. The idea is to make it easier on us when we're looking for new movies to augment our collection. We could create a sub forum for people to add suggestions of movies we should acquire for to make the collection more robust/awesomer/badasser/complete. (this is another example of why a wiki style thread would be useful)
I decided to maintain this list in excel instead of html...

Matt, maybe you can maintain this list in the DB, and create a separate page (linked in the Usefuls section--members only of course) that contains two AJAX/Silverlight tables. One is the current list of PMC movies that members could add/update. The second table would allow people to add suggestions. I guess you could store it all in one table in the DB, and even present it in one table too. There'd be a status column that could be set to {Available, Acquiring, Suggested}. If you want, I can put together the silverlight table and upload it to the server. To host SL controls you just need to be able to browse to the control, and you have to add some MIME types. If you create the table in the db and the ws to access the data, I can create the control to access and present it. The schema would be as follows:
