<font face="Georgia">Hi Alan,<br>
<br>
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?<br>

I've noticed a citation or two out there on the web, tracking
back to your "post" to the SIG, but of course there isn't
one.

Of course.
By the way, Sarinee has moved on to doing social advocacy work in Thailand. I don't know her personally, but I've spoken with some of the HotU community members. They never really got organized enough to set up long-term hosting/backup, partly owing to Sarinee's reduced involvement with the site.
Troy Goodfellow has posted some more info on his blog:
