Hi Guys
I'd like to catalog my growing list of panels etc. and
the data I have on them.
Some of course I may never make and others I will.
A number of you are connected to museums and would have come
across this issue.
Perhaps you could advise.

My preference: KISS principle; keep it simple, stupid.
Set up an HTTP server or a web host that does directory listings, and and
dump all the stuff into a sensible folder structure a-la Bitsavers.
When you get more stuff just file it accordingly.
No need for wikis or CMSes or any of that junk.
Cheers,
- Ian

I had already offered to host the panels... I just didn't want to create full blow web
content as that's not my bag.
But if you want just directory listing format - I can do that easily.

Such things are useful, Richard's RSS feed of bitsavers, for example
but they can be added later.
I am a VERY strong believer in keeping the content flat and not dynamically served, so
that it can be rsynced
exactly as it is stored.

Other information and addenda is welcome, but not necessary (re: Ian's
point about necessity), and I wouldn't postpone posting in favor of
fancier distribution. LCD is the most survivable (broadly), and easiest
to archive.
I wouldn't make this a requirement in any way, but Apache HTTPD format
directory listings (i.e., that de facto "standard" format) in particular
already have several tools that support easy archiving/mirroring
natively.

on-line storefront for artisan stuff, low-volume stuff.
This is my friend's store for homemade portraits and the link:
https://www.etsy.com/shop/cordialkitten
Here's something that is kind of interesting:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/94667084/usb-typewriter-computer-keyboard-black
I assume you can just register and set up shop there. I don't think
the overhead is too bad. You just upload some photos of your panels,
price them, set the quantity (or build to order) and you're done.

You mean host a website with DEC hardware?
With a PDP-11:
Johnny Billquist has a lovely TCP/IP package for
RSX-11/M+ which includes an HTTP server if I recall correctly.
I haven't used it (because reasons) but I think 2.11 BSD might have an HTTP server
too.
With a VAX:
VMS, later versions provide all the stuff you need to
host a website, though I've not set one up to do so.
OpenBSD 5.8 (the last VAX version) also provides all the servering that you need.
NetBSD is also a thing.
With an Alpha:
VMS
OpenBSD still supports Alpha in the current versions
NetBSD, again
Cheers,
Christian
