Lawrence,
        I think we need a server to actually get these databases
running on. Metalab seems the ideal host. 

What I think we need:
        a user id for the project
        MySql - probably comes as default on metalab
        PHP   - probably comes as default on metalab

I'd also suggest using phpMyAdmin 
         http://www.phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/
as a starting frontend to the database, this does all the
required database operations out of the box.

We can work on a more tailored interface later.

Could you have a chat with the metalab folks about this?

        All the best

                Rich
