I believe Gnome is particularly busy at the moment and I don't think 
he would have time for that job, but maybe he will offer some thoughts 
on the matter (I'm sure we will hear about XML very soon ;-)).

I'm afraid the data must be entered manually with a database just to 
reference the example files with some relevancy. It would be cool to 
have a front end where you can choose the domain you're interested in, 
the cpu, the runtime and the system you are targeting and immediately 
a list of example files would appear, of course clicking an item in 
the list would open the example file in the FB^3 Editor.
The caveat would be the updating required with each new release. I 
fear it would be a full time job.
