Also, let me know if there is any other work that would be helpful in scrubbing data in the Archive. One of the other items I thought of was reviewing official publications to ensure location data was present for the Scenario Map.
Well, I might have an idea:
Doug Rim (the VASL guy...) has programmed a feature into VASL which allows old VASL setup files to be automatically updated to the current version of VASL. Most recently, at least in a beta stage, he is programming to batch-update piles of VASL files.
For example some collections of VASL files are found here:
vasl.info
These already have been batch-updated to VASL v6.6.7
The thing would be to get these into the VASL scenario user-files of the ASL Scenario Archive.
Doing this manually one by one would probably be a chore. Especially when VASL progresses to the next version.
But maybe Dave Ramsey could create some sort of interface that would allow for
a) automatically extricating VASL files in the ASL Scenario Archive automatically and putting them in a zip-file. Then get the zip over to Doug Rim to run a batch update on them.
b) automatically importing (updated) VASL files back into the ASL Scenario Archive.
The great benefit would be, that over time there would be an ever growing collection of up-to-date VASL setup files.
The thing which still would have to be done manually (at least initially) would be to check if any of the VASL files contained VC or SSR (in the form of Draggable Overlays within a VASL file). These would have to be removed to ensure that copyright is not violated unintentionally.
