Our new "Arsenal people" database is just about ready for
public consumption. There are a few features to be added over the next few weeks, and there are a lot of people to add in.
It includes former players and staff as well as the current batch, so there are actually quite a lot of names to add! But the current squad is all there and it's going to make it a lot easier to keep that side of things up-to-date in future. I'm sorry that it had slipped so much over the last couple of seasons.
You can see the database here.
You can choose to look at a few different selections of categories and combinations of categories (eg current/former/both, players/staff/both, full/youth) and sort them in different ways. More search and sort options will probably be added in time (the bigger the database grows, the more important they'll be).
Also in time, the database will be integrated into the site more, so that it will become the hub of all our Arsenal staff information. existing pages will stay, but be linked to from the database pages.
The name of the database, incidentally, is still up for grabs. "Arse Souls" was the best suggestion I've had so far, but I can imagine some people might think it inappropriate.
Please send any suggestions or comments using this link, but note that I've already got a long list of things to do to it so only very urgent messages are likely to be acted on right now. |
