Hey Nathann, It seems like a good solution might be to maintain a small website that holds this displays this information held in, say, a SQL database. Then just add a link from the Sage documentation to this website. You could also then write a small script to automatically update this on each (beta) version of Sage. This approach could also make it more likely to be discoverable by other people too.
