John, as much as I love your idea, I'm one who thinks LUGNET may already be
too segmented by too many different groups and subgroups. More below.

help,
I really like your idea of gathering this information together in some sort
of 'archives' on a webpage. Gary Istok has written some terrific articles
that have appeared on LUGNET. They can be found using this URL that Todd
put together:
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=history-of-lego
Of course there are no pictures. :)
So perhaps using some existing materials (with Gary's permission, of
course) and contributions from others (box art and other scans) and perhaps
people writing about a particular old set that they themselves own and
love, you might have the makings of a very unique website. It would
certainly be one that I would visit and attempt to contribute to.
I personally think that the LUGNET.GENERAL group would be a fine group to
use when discussing such a project, but of course that's a busy group.
What about .PUBLISHING since it would be discussions about a website. Or
what about .EDUCATION since it would be about educating people about the
history of LEGO? Just my thoughts.
Regards,
Allan
