Help testing spell database

I'm looking for a help testing a spell database I've written: http://luthspells.appspot.com

Depending on if it has been accessed recently searches, and class-based lists may be a little slow to load. If anyone tries it and runs into any in weird behaviour, broken links, etc. let me know. (With spells, note the ID or Name)

I'm also interested in suggestions for information that would be useful to see in the Detail view, or general suggestions to make it more useful. Some examples:
  • Yar`Lir's Cone of Storms shows the direction of the cone AEs.
  • Items & Spell links will have mouse-overs with quickviews

I intend to write an Android application, and a PC application to monitor the log for casts allowing quick access. (Ideally I think the PC application would notify the Android application when new spells are seen.)

Some technical details for anyone interested. I originally wrote it ~7-years ago in PHP, I recently did a dirty port of the parser into Java, wrote a backend for AppEngine with Lucene and a GWT UI.

Luthair,

You may be interested in http://code.google.com/p/eqspellparser/ which is the source code for the spell parser used by raidloot.com. You could use it to fill in the "unknown calc" entries that your own parser does not deal with. It is written in C# .NET, but if you know Java you won't have any problem reading/understanding C#.

It is open-source, and the author is looking for feedback, so if you figure out a calculation that his parser does not support you may want to provide him with the details.
