For adding new vendors the required access is still being authorized by
the Sysadmins.
We'd love to have new hardware on the database so i think it won't be
too long before we can work that out.

Right now we are missing the feature to add vendors from within the
admin panel, that feature was on the ToDo list.
Also there are some features that didn't hit h-node.org and are still on
the SVN repository, there is still a lot of work to be done so
volunteers are welcome.

Any help with code is also well received
