Even More Kdict

The public side is almost done.

Lookup is much smarter than it was 4 days ago and presentation is improved as well. I think all the remaining rough spots are the kinds that will largely resolve themselves through actual use pointing the way to the answers.

Detail view now understands multiple selections from the lookup summary. and is getting better in the presentation department -- but is nowhere near the polish of lookup.

The db had a fairly major change requiring a large number of small changes to all existing scripts. The init script now grants proper permissions after recreating the db and has an improved "odometer" display for loading records.

The "About" blurb has been updated.

Advanced Search is finally being built and will be even more fearsomely boring to construct than I anticipated.

After that it's on to the New Entry and Editing bits, which will never even be exported to a world-accessible server, so it'll be functionally complete as far as gaijin are concerned.

There's still holes/problems/dupes in the data, but that's not my responsibility on this project :-)

I'm updating the public copy with new code and data as I write this, so if you'd like to play then kick it on over to dict.collapsar.net and get down with your bad self.
