Oh, please, don't create yet another resource. We already have so many
resources. It is not so big problem copying the resource, the problem is
keeping it updated. So if you combine data somewhere else, what happens
when original data is updated?

This is why Wikipedia is great, because it combines all those efforts on
one place.

The wiki we are using for interop wiki is Trac. Trac supports tags as a
plugin. But we could also program any additionally functionality you
might find interesting.

I have not heard about it. It seems last update was 2003? And it is
backed by some company? Have you write to them? They could give us the
domain and content over, if they are not interested anymore in
maintaining it.
