  Much of the information you want (all of it, I think) is already in the
INFO.TXT file -

  FWIW, keeping a central database up to date is going to be a nightmare
-
that's why we invented the INFO.TXT files; so each sysadmin could locally
update his own information.

Yes. I know... :-)

Which I said this is all voluntary and so on. I've just felt that the
INFO.TXT is not really working that well either. At least not from my point
of view. I'm willing to try different things. I could consider some
automatic scraping and population of the nodename database from some
distributed sources as well, if we can come up with something that seems
reasonable.

Oh, and thanks.
