A) Your link does not work for me, dead end.
B) The idea is good, I'd actually like to see it before really commenting on it.
C) Our shell is old by FFXI standards, originally Formed in 2004 when Sky was it for end-game. Since that time, we made drop tables for Earth, Sky & Sea. Each item was put down, listed by mob and then a lot order by jobs was established. Now, that we are relatively "old", most people know what they can or cannot lot... in addition to most people having what they want/need. We do a main-job and secondary-job lotting rule with it being possible to change your main job after a certain time period. (i.e. N.Body drops the day after you swtich to WHM Main from THF {That's too bad}). Well anyway, it is not of course the best, but we don't really need a large tracking system... as I would believe most older shells may not either.
D) That all said, newer players and shells may find this useful.... someone else wrote something similar, but it never got off the ground.
In the end, I'd love to be intergrate some things into our forums that deal more directly with the game. Building something from the ground up is a bit much too tedious for me. WoW has a lot of stuff out there that you can intergrate into a forums system... Anything for XI (such as your app) has be built from scratch.
I'll check back when the link is working.
