I just signed up on the OpenRocket forum (Solomoriah is already there), and one of the issues the developer speaks of is the databases. He doesn't like the RockSim CSV's, but sounds like he's going to implement something similar in a later release. The materials, for example, are currently hard-coded in Java properties.

If any of you are software developers looking for a challenge, go sign up on SourceForge and log into the new forum. It hasn't been up long, so the information is still spotty. Maybe we can help fill it up...

I also posted a link to our little sandbox, so hopefully we can get the developer to migrate over here from time to time...
