The current wplug.org site is essentially a half-finished rewrite that 
sort of works. When Zach and I were working on it, we initially had a 
far more ambitious plan that was somewhat sidetracked by the fact that 
we didn't know what we were doing in a lot of key areas (i.e. 
security). I'd like to create somewhat of an extensible community group 
framework, using WPLUG as the design template, as a cool personal 
project, and could commit a decent amount of time to working on said 
framework, if anyone's interested.

To your point, updating the data by hand isn't really a bad thing, and 
automatic updating isn't really the itch that I'd be trying to scratch 
with a rewrite.
