I find Sudip's script to create, update, and search a local sqlite database quite useful. We could make the script available to developers who want to use it locally; it doesn't even need to be packaged in my opinion - we simply make the script available in a repo on Salsa. It seems like it could also be used to build the sqlite backend for a web version. It just needs a machine with a little bit of horsepower and access to a mirror (or a caching proxy). Cheers, tony
