I think this task would be quite manageable if you used the biggest asset at your disposal: the forums! If you recruit people to start collecting links on a certain topic, then submit them to a knowledgeable editor, the task could be handled very efficiently.

We could all start by submitting our cooling bookmarks. I know I have a huge collection of categorized bookmarks, at least 50 links in my "[Computer] Hardware" folder, and 30 or so in "H2O [Cooling] Resources."

Visit www.everything2.com and check out how they catalog their user-submitted articles. Maybe the node format is something we could use here, at least in a modified form.

Ah, but then again a simple hierarchical archive would be simpler and more powerful. But I really like the idea of cross-links, maybe that could be integrated somehow.

Library science in the 21st century, lol.
