I know about the Porters Handbook, but I'm not a developer or programmer, so diving in that deep may not be an option for me (I possibly would if I could, but then it may be a question of available time to learn all that's necessary and actually do it). I thought maybe I can gain the interest of someone who is capable and would find use of that software for himself.
