I personally agree with Proteus on this one.  I can understand why Rick is 
upset as well; I agree it's best to leave the mailing list, archive, etc left 
as-is.   I just think it would be very nice to have a central web page for 
synth-diy to use.


I'm assuming you have a good deal of server space to take on a project like 
this, so I could see it being great to have a place where anyone's schematics 
could be archived.  It would be a wonderful resource to be able to go to one 
site and look at 10 different VCO schematics from 10 different designers.   
Maybe you could even use a search engine...  

I just think there's a lot of good potential here, and I see no reason to be 
upset with the name of the site.   The site *IS* about synth-diy.  I just 
think that it should be obvious that it's not affiliated with the Synth-diy 
mailing list.
