Concerning this problem, I think we could use php/mysql (or whichever
database you want). With the C parser, we can easily enter all the data
we've got into a database and then, easily browse it with php.
We could provide the opportunity to list all the nodes, to search for a
particular node and edit them. Then, we can add a link to allow the user
to modify the data. I'll start to work on it.
