Have updated our post at Open Trivial DB here:

Open Trivia DB Database Structure (Please) - Open Trivia DB - PixelTail Games - Creators of Tower Unite!

Update:

Please note, we are also discussing this topic here:

Forum Trivial Pursuit - New Computer Science and Mathematics Trivia for UNIX.com

... and will be documenting our database structure if we must reverse engineer the JSON to create our own version of the DB.

Again, we are not “complaining”¯ in the least and understand the good folks at PixelTail are very busy and there is currently over 3000 questions in the trivia DB queue waiting to be validated; we just want to insure that if we create our own “computer science”¯ related DB (so we can validate faster), that we can eventually dump this DB and merge it with the Open Trivial DB.

We want all our work in the future to be compatible with the Open Trivial DB.
Current stats at Open Trivia DB:

Code:
3,489 VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND 3,243 PENDING QUESTIONS

Basically, there has been no movement in the number of verified questions since we began this discussion thread and our two "test question" have not been verified.

In the "not so distant future" I will take the time to reverse engineer the DB and post the results here.

If anyone else has the time to do it (reverse engineer the Open Trivial DB from the API JSON), before I get around to it, please do!

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell.

The ntdbrestore man page was written by Rusty Russell, based on the tdbrestore man page by Matthieu Patou. Samba 4.1 06/17/2014 NTDBRESTORE(8)
