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.
