I think the database should have the following structure:
NICname VARCHAR(40)
works BOOLEAN
date DATE
comment TEXT,
who_sent VARCHAR(50)
(email? VARCHAR(70))
(what else? FCC code?)

I don't know whether sourceforge has MySQL and PHP (compiled with
MySQL support) available. If it does I can write some PHP-scripts:
* list of NICs (e.g. 50 NICs per page)
* search NIC
* add report (yes/no)
* edit/delete report (admin only?)
* comments?

I can't do pretty design for it
and I don't know how to order comments.
as tree? or as simple guestbook sorted by time?
