Hi,

FWIW, i'm working on a such hardware page for the french web site
www.freebsd-fr.org. If anyone is interested, you can see an advanced
beta version at the following URL :

  http://81.56.223.84/cgi-bin/wdialog/hardware.cgi
  
Some remarks : 

- it's in french

- the programming language is OCaml

- the data are saved on files (no database for now)

- due to the library i use, the license is GPL


Regards,
Stephane.
