TGE / T2D Web interface

I want to interface T2D with the net (somehow) to allow users to browse to a website that lists active games and folks looking to join a game, with a chat interface, then click on a game to join and join it.
I was thinking about using the web access stuff in TGE to send an encrypted message to a php page on the server, that would handle this kind of stuff.... but I really dont know what Im doing.
Also, perhaps I could use that tiny irc TGE interface or something.
Has anyone thought of doing something like this ? Seems like it would be really useful. Not to use the server as a game host. Just to organize joining games and chatting.
Can anyone suggest a method to achieve what Im looking for ?
