Wikipedia has nice articles for the general public
about various
machines. No technical detail, no procedures.
Now, if my memory still serves me, exactly that was the original
intention. Collecting knowledge about classic computers _and_
make it available to the general audience (Of course also, trying
to remove inaccurate sources).
The other topic addressed was a database of all computers, so one
could browse, as in a catalog. Also maybe a collectors database.
Tizianos 1000bit is (to me) the best attempt to do this on the
whole web.
Now, your intention looks more like a technical library for certain
computers ... such stuff is already out there, and I think classic
web organisation is sufficient for this task.
