Re: creating online plant database
If there are people willing to enter lots of data then its not too big a
job to create a database like this, there are content management systems
that automate much of the process of adding entries to a database,
approving and editing them etc - I'm use the Action Apps system from the
APC for some of the things I'm doing.
