Sites like this are proliferating rapidly. I would also point you to 
Cold Fusion-based solutions. Two examples:

     http://www.allaire.com/support/ (go to Developer Conference)
     http://www.citypages.com/ (go to Join Discussion Group)

I am not affiliated with Allaire but participated in the construction 
of City Pages.

Cold Fusion is an NT development tool for web-database integration, 
developed by Allaire.
