Several attempt to create an interactive online permaculture database
have resulted in the creation of http://permaculture.info,
a MediaWiki installation, same software that runs the Wikipedia.

There is a lot of information there already and I am personally 
interested in helping to put this project back on in focus, fuel up and 
head where the tracks may lead.

Of course, this has already been done, except that it is a wiki and not 
a database (which would take a long time to set up):
