Are you thinking of using something like DSpace?  If a "sucker"
application were able to pull in all the existing recipes from places
like rec.food.recipes then someone could probably build an interface
to DSpace for uploading more recipes, and then have MythRecipe (the
"Client") pull from both the local database as well as the remote
DSpace repository.  I'd be happy to host it, but I'm sure we could
find something more "official" to host it...
