Yup. But for the smaller ones only the title/classification/link to the
homepage should be filled in by us for a start. Asking the libs' authors
for a detailed "dossier" should be fine (it only benefits them after all),
and some feedback mechanism (comments from game developers who actually
*use* the lib) can add the remaining info.
That way much of the information can be gathered with relatively little
work done by you (just entering the dossiers into the database, looking
around for new libs, asking people to write something etc is left ;)

Good indexing & proper search functions are the key ;)
