Dear Andreas,
If you really want to do this, and want to define what is
the data is, it's not _so_ difficult to do it yourself, with Ruby on Rails (
http://rubyonrails.org/)
You have to know how to script a bit, and know a bit about
Model/View/Controller frameworks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzj723LkRJY
That's not what you asked, but if you want to define what is the data to be
input, you end up being unhappy with someone else's implementation.
