I'm +0 (meaning too busy with other things right now), I have an 
alternative suggestion (to which I am also +0)...

How about using the projects stuff I did in the projectInfo plugin [1]. 
This allows people to host their own RDF file describing their 
site/project. We add the location of that file to our locationmap and 
the projectInfo plugin will generate a number of different indexed pages.

It was originally designed for software projects, but it should be easy 
to adapt through some minimal XSL customisation.

The benefit is that we only need to add the location of the RDF file, 
they can then change their entry whenever they want by editing that file 
local to their own servers.

I think the couple of examples and minimal docs in the projectInfo 
plugin will be enough to show you how it works. If not I'll find time to 
answer questions.
