Personal web sites have limited life.  So, too, do organizational web
sites such as MBSI and AMICA which are subordinate to current political
views.  To be worthwhile, an information repository web site needs to
be hosted by an organization that will stick around.  In connection
with this I recommend the following hosting organization:

  http://www.ibiblio.org/index.html

Get a team together with an organized senior editor and a few
contributors and Seconds-in-Command and establish some goals.  For the
short term you can consider scanning useful public domain publications
and books.  This is straight-forward grunt work that will serve to get
your feet wet.  There is no telling how it will come out, but it will
be worthwhile.  Original contributions need to be in the public domain
and contributors need to agree to that.

Ibiblio is an ongoing public domain web site with staying power.  It is
entirely likely anything put there will survive to the end of the Internet
at which time it will likely be absorbed into whatever replaces it.
One key to success is to keep the site in HTML.  As much as I like PHP
and others like JavaScript, these are languages that probably will not
survive the next two decades.  HTML, on the other hand, probably will.
Another key to success is to avoid frames.  Style sheets are good though.

There may be other organizations similar to ibiblio, but this web site
is familiar to me.  I have a couple of pages on that site.
