As more guild sites pop up, it would be nice to be able to have a list of all available items that people have in game without having to manage the list manually.

It would be nice if there was a way to export a user's item list that could be fed into a xml parser or some sort of delimited list. That way, a person could download and update their list to their guild site without having to edit things one at a time.

This should include funds and items.

Of course it would be nice to be able to get updates automatically, but that would probably be too much bandwidth.

What would be the point of hacking a delimited list? You would only be changing what items you have. It doesn't do anything else other than show what items a person has. This is only a means to replace maintaining your list of items and funds available to the guild without having to manually update each and every item on a daily basis to correlate what you have in game.

You can't hack something that is 'read-only'.
Anyways, that would be a bit uf too much load for the servers.

It would be nice if someone makes any kind of PHP addon for forums, so guild members could do that manually.

There are some that already do, but the problem is one of maintenance and trying to keep your in-game list and your out-of-game list in synch. That is why being able to export the list would be helpful rather than trying to get the list from anet's servers. It would then be the responsibility of the site and the user to upload the list and parse it into the site.
