Collaborative Project: Lindex Market Machine

The post of the cURL scrapper for the Lindex Market has spured me to action.

For a few weeks now I've been using a similiar setup to provide Lindex Market information inside of SL ( see secondlife://baramdoli/5/86/67 ) -- my current system gets the Basic Lindex market information every 5 minutes and displays it inworld.

I don't have time to be able to do everything I'd like seen done with it on my own, so I'm posting here to see if anyone would be interested in a collaboarative project.


What I'd love to see, is an in-world "Lindex Market Machine" that could tell you what the "current" market stats are, as well as showing historical information and generating prim graphs.

I can provide access to the data through my server to anyone interested on working on something like this. My only request is that anything you make using the data be placed here in the forums in the scripting library or be made available in-world for L$1 (or free.)

Is anyone interested in such a collaborative project?

Sure why not

Excellent!

I'll get a version of my script setup that requests and receives the info from outside SL then re-broadcasts it as a link message. That'll let whoever want to interface with it, do so easily.

I finished a prim bar graph library, which would be a nice visual interface for the market data. You really want to be storing the daily averages for plotting trendlines in a web database, then the new llHTTPRequest() can pass parameters to get x number of days of data.

IM me in world when you get a chance.
