...for DF.
Before anyone says it, I know there are loads available already, but I'm doing it more educate myself than anything else.
I want to do it running MySQL and Perl I think.
Was just wondering what the process was.
I'd figured:
1) get latest update from distributed folding server every two hours.
2) go through the update, putting all data into a MySQL db, in the schema I'd chosen
3) write perl scripts to allow the data to be displayed from the database.
Does this sound about right?
Does step 1, require getting and parsing the data from each team page on the site, or is there a single file that contains all these details?
Would both steps 1 and 2 be done with perl scripts (strategically timed to run, to do their job)?
Oh and what size (in storage) will the database be? (i.e how much initially, and how much would it increase for each update after that)?
Thanks for any help guys :D
