You know, this TDB is an excellent facility, which I try to use and participate in when I can... In the past I have belonged to other boards which have one additional facility which may be of interest here.... I will toss an idea out just to see what the rank and file thinks... and that is adding a "reference" section.
I know we have the archive and it is very good. Personally, I try to find the things which I am interested in there, sometimes with luck, often times not. Other boards I have seen include reference sections where specific documents can be stored based upon an indexing structure which deal with a multitude of issues, many of a "how to" nature, others of pure reference.
I've started the practice of capturing information as it passes by here and creating my own reference section on my PC but thought it might make better sense to do this on a grander scale so to speak. Stuff like Duke's recent article on oil selection (I know it is in the Restorer) or the specifications of various vacuum cans (and how to select the correct one), perhaps a procedure for converting a brake system to DOT5.... would be a slick things to have in one place.
Just some ramblings on a Monday morning....
