WUN Anthology/online database of Macaronic Texts?

This presentation will take the form of a discussion, or the opening of a discussion, about the possibility of a WUN team putting together an anthology and/or an online database of macaronic texts. It would be helpful if anyone planning to attend the session could give some thought to content and format for both anthology and database (should there be notes/translations/critical essays? what would the range of languages be? how might the texts be arranged?), and also to considerations that should be taken into account in putting together a team and making a bid for funding. Suggestions of possible models would be very welcome.
