Hi,
Does anyone know of a repository of "general interest" databases
for pilot-db? I've looked at TUCOWS and at Palm's software connection
at palmgear.com but haven't found any.
There are many such databases available for other palm database
programs. A few examples include
o Phone/Web information for airlines, hotels and car rental agencies
o NPR radio stations
o Chemistry data
o Airport codes
o Area codes
o senator/congress person info
etc.
If not, what would be the best way to start one? A source forge
project? A new section at palmgear.com? A contrib/ section for
pilot-db?
Thanks, pat

And, since db can read several other formats, a lot of them are
usable for us db users.

The Web site is begging for people to put stuff on it. It cries out, "Tom!
You have no time for me due to that train ride each day into NYC. Anyone with
a SourceForge account who is added to the pilot-db project by you can update
my pages. Code me!"
A contrib section of databases sounds cool.
