That wouldn't be too terribly hard in principle. But usually once you take
that first step, people want more. Autocompletion of entries. Ability to
search and/or filter. Ability to display the information in the mobile app,
etc.
I'm not against doing this, but I want us to do this eyes wide open.
I really hope that Tomaz will NOT say "I'll do it", mainly because he is
working on statistics and we have too many things already that got
started and never got finished :-/
