Lojban Links

I would like to hear your opinions on the LojbanLinks web page
 http://members.lycos.co.uk/lojbanlinks/ 
which I maintain since 1999.

The situation in the community is very different now from 1999
when the web pages devoted to lojban and independent from LLG
just started to proliferate. At that time I used to collect the
references from AltaVista search engine and to produce the
web page manually. Nowadays the main source of new references is
this very maillist and the volume of the traffic is, I am afraid,
beyond my capabilities to cope with. Anyway, I would like to
retire from this project and to concentrate on building the Russian
lojbanists community.

I have the following questions to the community:

1. Do you think that LojbanLinks site or something like it could be
still useful or it is completely superseded by lojban.org and Wiki?

2. Will someone volunteer to take over this job (if you think
it is still useful)?

3. Apparently, the process needs a more efficient computerized
technology.

As for collecting the raw material from the maillist, I think it 
could be done at the source by some script scanning all the messages
and extracting all the http-links (when the list resided on 
onelist.com there was such a service provided!). I understand 
of course that this means yet another burden for our Webmaster.

The most time-consuming part (for me, at least) was categorizing
the references and putting them on their proper places on the
web page. I used to do it manually, but probably one can suggest
a more efficient technology.

Or, maybe we can make a Wiki page for a collection of all kind
of references and to leave it to collective effort.

What do you think?
