We wont be importing from the new WoS. We will only be using ZXDB. I'm sure @Einar Saukas will be more that happy to add new hardware or anything else that is missing to ZXDB. You just need to contact him and provide the information for him to add.

If you fancy being responsible for maintaining the links page we can set you up with access.

Interesting offer.. I would suggest a collaborative effort using a software like https://sourceforge.net/projects/semanticscuttle/
One site using this software is https://arthur.lutz.im/bookmarks/
See? several admins, multiple users, approvals, etc

Hi, it looks good but if we use an external tool I would rather something that was being actively updated. This looks like the last update was in May 2016. I think for our needs a simple HTML page would be fine as a starting point. We don't want to over complicate things. Let us know if you want to help.

This could be as simple as collating a list of useful links in a text file with an explanation of each.

Hi Peter. I've seen the author answered a question on the help page last year. Also there is a java port from last year. I don't think the program is difficult to maintain for a PHP coder.
You have a good point about simplicity though this kind of software is useful even if only to show a button to encourage people to collaborate.

[mention]hikoki[/mention] I looked at it again but it appears not to support PHP7 so unfortunately we can't use it. Good suggestion though.
