OK, now we need lists of topics to write up! Boy, this could be a huge project.
Can these writeups include photos?


Yes, they can. I just added a start of a template for user's project
pages, nothing fancy but in the nature of a wiki, anyone can improve it
if they want. The user interface is very intuitive, just click on the
icon that looks like a picture, it builds the syntax for you which you
just change to the image name you want. If it's not there and you click
on an image link, it takes you to the "upload an image" page.

I volunteer to write up a summary of rust removal techniques for starters. I am
already pretty good at acid dipping, wire brushing, sandblasting, lye/zinc bath
soaking and electrolytic derusting.


Sounds like a perfect entry for the "howto" section, maybe a new section
called "derusting".

I'm planning to research the molasses
granules soak technique and also an aqueuous zinc solution soak, would add those
too.


....and so it starts...

Thanks for doing this, Iggy.
