RTFA: http://www.listphile.com/about

Listphile is a powerful tool for organizing and collaborating around structured information. Call it a database tool, if you will (but please don’t scare anyone away).
Listphile was borne of curiosity, and the belief that we learn more effectively when we have a framework for collaboration and knowledge sharing.
It is my intention that Listphile will be used in ambitious and open ways: make a publicly shared database of all baseball players who ever played in the Major Leagues. It is also my dream that Listphile will be used for humanitarian purposes: create a list of journalists who are currently imprisoned, or a list of peace treaties. Listphile can just as easily be used to document vintage Nike sneakers, or to create an Open Surf Atlas of all surf spots on the planet, or document all of the beers in the world.
