As a web developer, I would be willing to work with you to translate the excel formulas and functions into a PHP program that uses a MySQL database to store data on items, gems, enchants, etc. Also, it would be possible to save a hunter's configuration and "send" it to another person for looking at, comparing, etc. Could also make a sort of leaderboard to see who has the highest theoretical DPS.
