[UA] Next Book?

[Michael Dinowitz]

I'm a programmer specializing in a language called ColdFusion. This is a web
applications language used to create dynamic sites and such. I'd be quite
happy to set up an online form/db/search interface so that UA players can
create and modify city information. I can even set up a mailing list just
for that.
The question is format. I can do something with a solid definition with
city, area, etc. which I'm not to happy with or I can set up a nodal system
where each person can enter some data and have it all linked and searchable.
An example of this can be seen at http://www.everything2.com/. I have the
code already written for this type system and can have it specialized for UA
in an hour or so.
On the other hand, I can't do graphics well, so I'll need a hand on the
design end.
