The first ever unofficial (I hope to be official soon) Fiesta Database run in actual php/sql-driven coding is close to launch by SparkOnline.
Located at http://fiesta.sparkonline.net, updates are being done to various parts of the site. However, one of the biggest projects that has since been worked on for the last couple of months is close to a release and is looking for Fiesta players willing to participate in this event.
Project being Released: PHP/SQL-Driven Fiesta Quest Database (Other databases coming soon!)
Release Date: A few last-minute tweaks being made to ensure that users can browse the database easily but we are looking at a release for early next week.
Expectations:
- Willing to submit a certain amount of quest information into the database per day/week.
- Willing to do repetitive copy/pasting
- Must be good at typing
Benefits:
- SparkOnline Fiesta forum staff title (to be created soon)
- Be able to say that you were involved in one of the best informative resources created for the Fiesta community! :)
If interested, please reply to this post or message me :D

I had started creating an XML database a few days ago. My format was something similar to
<quest>
<stepOne>
<name>npcname</name>
<location>
<field>place to get</field>
<coord>coordinates of the NPC</coord>
</location>
<dialogue>
<speak>
<NPC/player>
what they said.
</NPC/player>
</speak>
<click>
Your clicking options
</click>
I think you get the point. It also had things that would show what mobs you had to kill. What their HP was, what they dropped. Where they were located. What prizes you got.

I would be WAY more than willing to help out.

I encourage everyone to join and be involved with the release of this new database. At the present moment, a few things in the system are being fixed up and tweaked and then I will start having people email me if they are interested in being a database submitter.

Being a database submitter means not making any mistakes in what you type. Everything must have good spelling and grammar. The database will basically grab data that gets submitted into it and post the data into a table-like format on to the database section of the site.

UPDATE:
Just to update everyone on the status of the database release, my staff and I have been busy with stuff in real-life so we have been unable to utilize our resources as much as we have wanted to in order to get the databases completed. The status for completion is nearing 90%. A couple of things have been changed up as we try to provide the best quality of a database as we can provide the community but so far we are at the state where we are taking what we planned and putting it into action which shouldn't take long....we are expecting a release date of sometime in the next 2 days.
Note: I will be putting up an email for those who are interested in being database submitters so keep a lookout! I also have plans of making databases for Outspark's other games. The releases, I am hoping will be much quicker since the general layout of the databases will be similar for every game.

Alrighty, sorry for the delay everyone. Due to personal issues in real life, my coding guru guy was unable to get the files done at the expected deadline. The word "deadline" is used very flexible here as the SparkOnline staff does not get paid to work on the site...we just do the best we can to get things done on the agenda in the quickest time possible so as to satisfy the community.
Tweaks to the quest database have been made and the files are ready to go....they now have to be applied to the site. I have plans on redesigning all the websites on SparkOnline in order to prepare for all the content updates I plan on applying to the sites. The database will be the one of the biggest additions to the site once the redesign is made and as soon as it is implemented, I will post up an email to start recruiting database submitters for those interested in being part of the Fiesta Quest Database Crew. This should be done by sometime this week. Regarding a potential items database, monsters database, and whatnot, those are being considered to be made in the following weeks and hopefully will not take too long to setup as the database template will be a lot like the quest database with modifications suiting the type of database being made.

The staff is wanting people in the community who are willing to commit time in this project...that doesn't mean you have to dedicate your whole life into it...we just want a few hours a day or however much time you have available.
The Quest Database is in the final stage of tweaking aka making sure the security is fixed up and whatnot and the link will be posted up. In the meantime, this is what it looks like:
