Re: [Amc-list] AMC Dealer Listings

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

The AMCyclopedia uses MySQL and runs Drupal (PHP based) but it can run 
most other common languages except for Java. There's a dealer listing on 
it already that Frank uploaded. This would be a good site for these 
types of things since I can allow anyone who want to contribute (BTW, 
the site could use more contributors -- hint, hint) and if others are 
interested in administrating the site (which takes very little time), I 
can set them up for that as well.
