You may be interested in my SciSalvage site.  I started this earlier this 
year on a whim and received sufficient expressions of interest to design 
the database and start coding it all up.  Unfortunately, several months of 
illness mean that the project has yet to be completed, although I'm hoping 
to be able to get back to it pretty soon.

To those good enough to sign up: don't give up, it WILL happen!
