Hello Taco,
Do the 2 databases have the same format?
If yes, I could be the maintainer, and copy in a regular time interval the
web-database to some svn repository or elsewhere for the distribution.
Then texshow.pl would see the same database, just not the latest version.
And whenever you or other people add new commands and descriptions, they do
it on the web only.
If no, then we could discuss other options...
Best wishes, Peter
