Some experimental work was done by Taw:

Yes, that's the one that was shown and discussed on the developer
meeting at 21C3. The one consisting of three different parts in
different programming languages. And the underlying data has to be fixed
manually anyway, as it contains numerous errors.
Again, I am not trying to push my 'ware here. I am just proposing to
have a (rather simple) PHP script and a wikimedia project with lots of
volunteers to do the work (in this case, data collecting and
-structuring, not writing articles)
If you (the list) think this is worth exploring, I could try and get
some more detailed data for a *real* demonstration. If you think it is a
waste of time, I won't.
Either way, tell me! :-)
