I wrote it, but it's not being maintained. The last update was in 2005.
If you want to volunteer, I can send you the php and mysql schema and
you can update it. It's not a large package -- about 772 lines of html,
301 lines of javascript, and 519 lines of php.
There are only 4 simple tables in the DB schema. They probably don't
need to be changed, but the data in some of them updated.
