We could define a certain schema that they'd need to follow, and we could write a parser for it. Could just be with HTML tags for now, and offer JSON or XML capabilites in the future?
-Ideally, we could show a preview of what their parsed data would look like so they can check for errors in the schema before sending it to us.
Issues: Security-wise - need to be able to filter out spam. Don't want random people adding junk files. Perhaps they can upload it, but we need to review it before adding it to the database. -Limit size so parser doesn't take too long, and less room for errors.
Could be more of a long term goal...lemme know your thoughts!
