Hi Alan,

do you think there is any chance of getting the data/metadata from the 
site? The site itself is available via archive.org, last crawled 12 Feb. 
08, though the top post is dated 13 Jan. 2006.   (I think that's as it 
should be, since the site hasn't been active for a while.)  I think if 
we had the data, with permission to use it, we might be able to 
construct a database that people could use.   Would you know whom to 
contact for permission to do that?

They never really got organized enough to set up long-term hosting/backup, partly owing to Sarinee's reduced involvement with the site.
