I have no idea if this is technically feasible (in terms of what sort of tech skills, coding abilities, etc. are needed) but I know that I would be happy to help if there are some low level tasks that you need help with.

If so, maybe we could turn this into a crowd sourced effort, I'm imagining if 5-10 of us each put in a couple hours of work and then you packaged up the final product. Is this possible...or too hard to split up the work into individual tasks?
Hey HoKo and cockpitvisit--I just looked at the file, and it seems like its fairly easy to edit. You can just edit the .dat files manually (no coding necessary!), and the application will update itself (as long as you hit save).

cockpitvisit, if you'd be ok with it, I'd like to create a wiki post where anyone can edit the data stored in the .dat files, and can copy-paste it into their own application. It would help free up your time, and let you concentrate on improving the actual application (or making new tools, or just other things in general).
