But with an rdbms and a nice front then it could
encompass all makes and
models.
Linux, a web page form, some PHP scripts and MySQL and we're done. Any
volunteers ??? :-)
One problem is going to be authentication. If it has any contact
information (and it seems like it would need to in order to be useful) then
it's gonna become a target for SPAM.

This may be hosted on the classiccmp server if you wish. There are already
plans afoot for a registry there that would include both public and private
listings, as well as measures to ensure entries that are desired to be
anonymous (but verified) can be presented as well. The initial idea was for
HP21xx/1000 boxes, but the plan is to extend it to other machines as well.
It looks like planning for an 11/7XX registry are already well along, but
just wanted to state the offer.
Best,

Not to mention SQL injection.

Gotta give Rob credit for at least throwing something out there ... what
approach would you take?

Only if someone has a failure of imagination. Here?s the way the third-world interface on
that application will probably look:
?Exercises in applied colloquial English translation?
?Only 35 <insert local currency denomination> per hour"

Surely there must be some sort of Captcha spoofer API by now.
As far as I know, even Mechanical Turk has been used to break them.
Everything depends on the ROI for the particular target...

Hah. The classiccmp server is LAMP... so none of the above is a problem ;)
