ok, Stephan will be online tomorrow again, so we wait and after we find _the_ 
best and easiest solution, we go for it. I think a wiki table would be 
reasonable and Markus' idea to connect the table via scripting into the 
repositories or maybe even language wise into the latex document :-) sounds 
nice to me.

So we start tomorrow and take the table Eve and JD Guiguère built as the 
initial document - ok?
