Ryan,
We are really talking about a frequently updated book of sites from a state that people can download rather than a database structure. A map key would be very useful for navigation purposes. I think Bob's concerns about trip reports being lost to float in cyberspace is unrealistic as we have the trip reports archived on our website and this BBS. There are other mirror sites out there that copy existing websites. Modern search engines will keep these reports from being lost in the future, unlike the status of the posts made to the Topica discussion list in the early days of ENTS. Those I rescued and posted to the website.
