I think I've got the workflow figured out so it could be smart enough to send you only new information (not spitting back the stuff you just uploaded or resending you stuff you've already been provided.) But before I invest the effort and maybe some money to host it, I want to see if there is an interest.
I'm also curious if this is something that would be frowned upon as I believe keeping claim locations secret is part of the mining way. I'd hate to work on something that I thought the community would find helpful only to wind up with folks being p*ssed.
So what do you think? Should I give it a shot?

Meh dont steal my idea! ;P but oh well i cant code it anyway :P
But yes i would use it.
But you have to make sure ppl dont upload just old stuff to get the new stuff, ie some checks are needed.
But yes just upload your nrd file, then parse it and put it together with the other files uploaded to get a masterfile you can merge to your own.
Although you should just make it as this, upload -> latest complete list. Not give access to the master list for 3 months, ie if you want to update the list you need to upload your own.. ALWAYS

That is due to the fact you have to put in the stuff manually and who want to do that smoe couple of thousands of times when you can just upload a file instead and voila done.
