WebLinDa (Web based Linguistic Database)
It seems to pertain mostly to researchers and it also appears that you can't access any of the database unless you have e-mailed him for permission. He has got it set up with two user types, default and super user. The default can access their own data and only their own, while the super user's have access to edit all entries.
This website is probably worth looking into. It's "Language Archiving Technology."

“The Rosetta Project is a global collaboration of language specialists and native speakers building a publicly accessible online archive of ALL documented human languages.”

I think you could find the answer to almost any linguistic question here

This is the website for the language documentation training center. They give people the training and tools to document rare languages and they post a lot of their stuff online. They have a ton of sound files as well. I think we could imitate their format of documentation (since they are the pros). They are an educational institution too so I bet we could even contact them for help at some point (for evaluating our website maybe?) An example of something we might want to borrow from them is found on their website if you click on “Schedules and Syllabi” on the left menu bar, then click on

This next website is not exactly what we are going for but it is worth looking at. One cool feature that I would like to imitate from this website is how they have an option to display words grouped into categories (like numbers, animals, colors, body parts, food, etc)

Dr. Fallon's research paper from Howard University, has some of the same Blin data that I was entering into WebLinDa.

The main point of this paper is that the Linguist's Toolbox should be integrated into a larger software framework that we will call The Linguist's Computing Platform. The main goal of such a transition is to enable collaboration and shared use over the network. A related goal is to bring open standards to linguists' work: without open standards, collaboration and shared use are impossible. (taken directly from the Intro)

This is a sample toolbox project file taken from: http://www.und.edu/dept/linginfo/Toolbox.htm If you guys have success opening this let me know. Currently at the lab and can't get it to work, going to try at home soon.

Our completely empty Blin database on WebLinDa. The word entry has MANY linguistics options: Mood, Tense, Gender, Aspect, Case, etc.
Senses vs. homophones:
