The problem with a web page is that it becomes searchable, and is quite
likely to get indexed all over the place. Perhaps if it were one where
the members email addresses are munged like in the archives, and was
only "officially" available at kanga.nu?
I think the material itself is valuable - it provides a background for
what people are saying, which can make it easier to understand "where
they are coming from". The main difficulty, I expect, is that of keeping
it up-to-date. People just have to let you know about updates. (Mine
definitely needs updating, but I need to accomplish something more on
my MUD first!). Of course, asking this question on MUD-Dev may well
trigger a flurry of updates...
