Web based SR4 Charactor Generator Q&A, Feature Requests and brainstorming Options

[fatal2ty]

Ok, nobody get your hopes up yet, but I noticed a lack of web based toolsets for Shadowrun, ie. Chargens.

I'm currently learning PHP/MySQL and was considering an SR4 Charactor Creator as my first Project with actual substance.

My idea is that I would use PHP as the frontend and it would output to HTML, and possibly PDF and XML format in the future.

The SQL database would be to manage skills, knowledge and gear.

I also plan to integrate Charactor Saving; either via cut/paste the POST in the address bar(easier, but the address bar can only hold so many charactors) , or through registerable user accounts(more difficult, but I might be able to work it in with an established CMS system).

I plan to start work on this by the weekend and I was hoping to get some ideas for Feature requests, layout ideas, and whatnot

I figure it would also help me to nail down the Charactor creation process in SR, as I'm still learning how to do that efficiently
