Unfortunately, a table like that is very difficult and time consuming
to maintain (it was tried once and fell seriously out o fdate *sigh*)...
I've started up a more dynamic one that is available through the
web site...Christopher had mentioned improving that, but I imagine that time
for him is short lately too...I have no problems with someone submitting a
replacement to what is there now, that is based on a PostgreSQL backend
(ie. send me the table specs and forms/cgi's to run it)...
Get that to a more professional level first, then add data into
it...but make it so that the data is easily added, so that not one person
has to maintain it
