The time consuming part is going through each and every mission and adding its description and author. During that I also mark missions that look promising (in blue letters).

It would probably require looking over the extracted data once, but it should considerably shorten the time.Yes, it would be helpful because it will automate the process for all missions that their authors bothered to use the "Author" and "Description" fields. I could always do it manually for the rest as I do now but it will cut-down my time and effort! I extract the mission anyway to remove the "briefingName" field so that wouldn't be a problem.
Would that be helpful?
