Good idea, although keeping track of a large number of documents
in a thread like that will not scale well. You want to scrape
the data and turn it into a web-accessible database.

Like http://vt100.net/manx, but for all docs and not
just DEC ones.

You might want to decide exactly what information you want to
record now (location and title obviously but what about format,
dpi, scanned vs ocr vs scan+ocr, colour, approx size ...)
before you have to go back and retrofit that data to the
existing 600 entries (been there, got the T-shirt).
