I've been particularly interested in the various data types across BASIC dialects. Although interested in the data types themselves (including the related keywords and "sigils"), I've been particularly interested in how to enter that information and how to view that information.
Keep in mind that I'm no fan of "big requirements/analysis/design" up front. I much prefer an iterative/incremental (or evolutionary, or organic?) process. Start prototyping/building something right out of the gate with what is known, and adjust as the magic of elucidation happens (i.e. all of the intertwingled bits and pieces become clear.)
I am no fan of sticks in my wheels and wheels stuck in the mud. When I don't know how to handle something (name it, enter it, display it, etc.), I either go with either "just good enough" or "get back to it later."
Although I've got a pretty good sample database put together, I know I've skipped some data types for some BASIC dialects when I did not know how to handle the data types at that moment (Meh: get back to them later.)
I've also picked dialects for which the data types were easy enough to find and understand.
Should you be interested in contributing, please see "How can you help?"
Please check out the (work-in-progress, i.e. subject to all kinds of change) BASIC Data Types Explorer.
Links to click on (and open popup dialogs) look like this (light-blue rounded border and very light-gray background):
