A MySQL-based system I wrote about six years ago is getting kinda long in the tooth and I’m eager to replace it with something “newer” and, of course, better. If you know of an open-source, database-driven system for building a “guide to databases” sort of system, I’d love to hear about it. I’ve worked thru OSS4LIB (which still points users to the OSCR e-reserves system I wrote in the late 90’s) but didn’t really find anything that fit.
Here’s what I’m eager to replace:

What I’d like to find is a setup based on MySQL or Postgres…that uses PHP…that uses CSS and/or templates…and supports simple alphabetical lists and subject-oriented listings as well. Other features would be great, too, but I’m happy to start with something simple… Oh, one more thing…it has to run on either Solaris, Linux or Mac OS X Server…which I guess is my way of saying I’m not going to set up a Windows server or learn Cold Fusion.
