How about the ability for groups that maintain KOS lists the ability to import and export standings to a comma delimited file.


entity,type,standing, Comments

SomeCorpHere,Corp,-10, "Known Douchebag"
SomePlayerHere,Player,+5, "Not a Douchebag"
SomeAllianceHere,Alliance,-5, "Might be Douchbags"
...



That way a corp, alliance, or person can periodically (say weekly) export their KOS\Friendly\Neutrals to a local file to be distributed. Then members can import the file and update their standings all at once. (Inspired by many a firewall blocklist utility such as Protowall).

Well, with a copy of the ContactList API and a bit of parsing magic you can export them quite nicely. However, you can't import them the same way. So you could atleast export them and display them online for people to copy down.

Try keying in a KOS list of over 8000 entries. Not practical by any measure. Going to a web site to check taking 4 seconds could be the difference between getting podded or not. Would be nice to have an import, cut down on the time to keep the list up-to-date.

I didn't say it was ideal, I would have no issues with your proposed import/exporter. I was just pointing out that half of your request already exists.
