[Coco] Preserving all the old docs? The return of CoCoPS?

Sorry for being so late to the party here... I haven't been keeping up  
with the list in ages.

Ages ago (I think, leading up to 2000), we briefly had the "Color  
Computer Preservation Society" -- CoCoPS.  We had a newsletter that  
went to three issues (with #4 never making it out due to a mailing  
list being lost or something).  Anyway, it dawns on me it might be a  
good time to relaunch the "CoCoPS" for a home base for all the  
documents, photos, etc. we are trying to preserve.

So, here is what I'd like to do.  I'd like to start by making the  
CoCoPS.org website return as a place for us to submit as many photos  
we have of past CoCo events -- Rainbowfests, club meetings, etc.  I'll  
donate bandwidth and disk storage for the site.

Then, if anyone wants, we can also use it for a hosting point for the  
preserved documentation.  I have a whole cabinet full of docs from  
CoCoFEST vendors (handouts, etc.) from 1990-whenever that I'd also  
like to contribute.

What do you think?
