I talked to guy from the ARRL about that last year. He was supposed to get back to me for more infornation, but never did. That's his loss...
We've been doing something just like that for a few years now at www.nwham.com. The only difference is that our information is accurate, whereas the ARRL repeater directory is rife with errors. There are a bunch of us moderators who work continuously to try to keep the database as accurate as possible. I know the section I look after (VE6) isn't yet perfect, but some repeater operators are not quite forthcoming with information. We are always looking for more moderators in areas not yet incorporated. Having local moderators is the key, as it helps to have someone with local knowledge and contacts in order to provide the best quality data.
