PHP is also acceptable, and as compared to JavaScript, more portable. 
The new library list, the alphabetical one, is a PHP page so that it 
shows the libraries available based on the release.

And having a list with "columns" that can be sorted might be a 
reasonable way to manage it. It need not be displayed as columns, as 
that takes up more room. But having the various information available 
and sortable is very useful.
