Surely having a resource for source code for the platform (FF, PC Card, ect) in one place is better for those needing to locate it? just like drobe is effectively a personal site viewed under the same eyes, which also hosts other peoples content, which they themselves manage. As long as there is a fall back procedure so that should something happen to Peter / he no longer wish to fund the site, that it be able to be transferred anyone wishing to step up? Afterall he said he was looking into all options presented, and if you look at the other 'product databases' out there, RISC OS.info appears to be updated the most?
If no takers, I might have a look into it, but it would be a while as I would need to learn C (I am fairly good at picking up new languages from pre-built well commented code, as I did for Java)
Might need some help though! So I would apologise for that even before I were to start.
However if there were anyone doing it, I might (given time as I have 2 kids) look into it any as a helper.
