I like that idea... I hate having to dig back for historical models.

Well _I_ think it should be in Jain's Guide :-) (www.wildbrick.com)...
course, I may be biased :-)

Well, that's a different story... Maybe set up a spider to scan .space
articles for links? hmmm... may need to think about that....

Well, if it has a submission feature any maybe a "rating" feature, then
anyone could submit, and the highest rated ones would percolate to the
top... That would make searching a _bit_ easier.

Submitting someone else's work is (IMHO) bad juju (at elast without their
permission).

Hmmmmm.... we could call it... how bout Jain's Guide!!! :-)
