Aloha,

It's a fine idea to have the wiki collect data for the eventual plant
DB.  But as your conversation recognizes, to automate moving data from
the wiki to the DB, the wiki data schema has to match the DB schema. 
It would be easy enough to put up a form for entries to the wiki that
people want to automatically put into the DB when it's ready.  But that
requires the DB to be far enough along that the wiki form could match
the DB input needs.

Seems like a bit of a chicken-egg problem.  Until the DB structure is
well-developed, the wiki can't use it to start gathering data.  So
seems like the DB content/structure needs to be the immediate focus.
