Maybe you're right. I run an email list of 900+ people. That's the source 
of the recommendations. I have a website 

http://frambors.syslang.net/

with a few buttons on it. I want to provide a new page that can act as a 
central repository for recommendations.  A wiki might do it but I thought 
that might be a huge overkill. The PIM thing might be good.

Does this description help?
