"There are many different software systems and approaches to consider, and that ain't my area of expertise." Aye, and there's the rub. I'm just starting to learn about that stuff myself, and am in no state to actually volunteer any technical skills. We are all casting about here...

I have never downloaded the database myself, but have just this morning taken a look at Amos's copy on his Mac. It's pretty cool. Whether it's more of the same, or something new, it does want a pretty strong programmer or programming team with time on their hands... Of course, there often is a pretty strong correlation between folkmusicalness & geekiness. If we haven't the expertise here at the 'Cat yet, where might we go fishing for such?
