That's a lot of infrastructure to build for a minor gain. Although I do like the idea of singling out a phrase here or there.

chromatic has a wonderful quote on his homenode (*) he lifted from a thread years ago, from a monk who hasn't been here in a long time. If you've never heard of "And the map is posted at nearly every major street corner", it makes no sense, shorn of its context. But once you've read the thread, I think you'll agree that it's one of the most poignant statements ever made about helping newbies.

And in turn I've lifted a quote from chromatic, in a reply to dws in this thread, because I liked the attention to detail it represents. Attention that, sadly, the programmers I work with lack. Similarly, to understand "it is a most inspired beverage", you have to know your Perlmonks polls.

So in the meantime, rather than writing all that code to pin down these saying, I would suggest you simply stash them away in your homenode. If you can keep it up, and bring the total to a hundred, then yes, that might make decent seed material to get the thing off the ground.

Otherwise I fear it would just turn into a mutual self-congratulatory society.

* thanks BrowserUK for clarifying matters. I wrongly assumed it was evident that one was to click on chromatic's link and visit his homenode
