So have I.  I have also registered the domain
paleoglossa.net for it.  Rather than building
the same building twice we should team up!
I got plenty of webspace, and could point the
domain name anywhere too, of course.

rather than that you should look into writing
extensions to MW.  I think you could do many
things with templates.  If what you have in mind
is talking to dictionary databases it might be
another matter, although extensions should handle that
too.
