Since the data structure that list information gets stored into is
just a dictionary (glommed from attributes on the class), you could
probably store all kinds of extra information in there.  The trick
would be hooking it up to the Web interface, but if that's not
important, you can do all kinds of things by hacking a little Python
into a command line script.
