This sort of data is not really notable enough for wikipedia.

  Sorry, I didn't mean it should go in Wikipedia. I was holding Wikipedia up as an example of a non-profit that could do important data management at scale.

    Wikipedia is sort of weird (good but unique weird). Anyone can edit it and upload data but hardly anyone does so. It also has really strict policies on e.g. defamation without which a commercial service would quickly become a mess.

      Huh? Defamation isn't a problem when craigslist is hosting stuff like classified ads. Why would this suddenly be worse for a non-profit?

        I guess that craigslist follows local laws that require e.g. human interaction in certain cases.
