Great idea, any clue as how I would add my [[User:Prino/log|31 years on the road]] to it? Individually adding every [[User:Prino/log/summary|trip]], let alone [[User:Prino/log/log2011|every ride]] is simply impossible.
Most of my trips are round-trips, and it doesn't make a lot of sense add my first trip as "De Bilt" to "De Bilt", 47 rides, 2,981.2 km, 33:44 hour... And then having to click 360 times on a calendar to get to the starting date? Pass me a bucket! Never heard of drop down lists?
You need to create a method to bulk-upload data using a delimited format but I'm most certainly not going to suggest you use [[Keeping_statistics#Data_format_used_by_Prino.27s_current_program|the format]] I use, because that is far too detailed (is it?) and totally incomprehensible for anyone but me. A simple (pseudo-)XML format would probably be pretty useful, but it would need to be set up correctly from the start, not like my format, which is the result of too much fiddling over the years. FWIW, my log pages here are generated automatically from my data, be it that the sections containing the individual rides need a fair amount of post-processing to cater for the un-Wiki-fiable ones.
Hell, even a simple delimited text format like
<span style="font-family: monospace">city1/100.5+0:50/city2/12.6+0.20/city3/etc</span>
would already work to get the basics.
And get a forum on the site itself, it is a very big PITA to go off-site for discussions about a site. What's wrong with a phpBB forum?

PS: Netherlands (1399 km) and The Netherlands (427 km) are the same...
