What was indexing Offine?

In the old days, before there was an Online Interface to index comics with at the GCD, all indexes had to be done offline. The offline versions of the indexes consisted of text files with tabs that were then compiled together and distributed. File-submission indexing let indexers prepare index files offline using spreadsheet or text editor programs, and submit these files to the GCD as e-mail attachments.

Indexing Offline or Flat-File Indexing is not currently supported. It is uncertain at the moment whether it will be supported again in the future. The last version of this page to contain info was http://docs.comics.org/w/index.php?title=Indexing_Offline&oldid=1219.
