New gliding online directory

[Dan G]

I'm not in any way associated with this site - it's based in the
Netherlands as far as I can tell - but someone really has put a lot of
effort into this:

http://gliding.start4all.com/

Nicely laid out and more gliding-related links than I've ever seen.
Quite a lot explore.

ymmv, but: of the (few) links I looked for or tried:
- Libelle points to a dead domain as do the ASW-19 and ASW-15 Community
links
- there's no ASW-20, Junior, Pegase, Puchacz or SZD entry
- the SDI vario link is incorrect

OTOH the Sailplane Directory, BGA, BGA data sheets all work.

I'm very wary of pages of links because they are so hard to keep
correct. I personally would not publish one without an automated scanner
run every day or two to flag up failed links. Before you ask, yes I do
own such a scanner - I wrote it to keep my private reference pages up to
date, but applying the corrections is a pain. As a result I tend to
minimize the links on my public pages.

There is a way to add or update links:

So if you can correct any dead links or suggest new ones, I'm sure
that would be appreciated.
