That's an interesting idea! Darryl's page is a comprehensive resource, and as he says, it has a long history itself. That history might help its search engine positioning, though the last update in 2009 could undermine that. Once nice thing about it (IMO) is that it's good old fashioned table-based static html. It loads fast, though it does have 2 ad and/or tracking scripts. Other than navigation links that are a bit too close together, it works OK on small screens, at least in landscape mode. And his server is powered by renewable energy, which I think is pretty cool. My main personal objection (sorry, Darryl) is that it's ad-supported, and though I didn't see any pop-ups, the ads aren't very subtle. When I checked just now it was hawking the [ICE] Hyundai Sonata; and, oddly, water filtering, a 2011 Corolla, VW repair, a Salem attorney, Loop Loc (whatever that is) and (of all things) wedding flutes. No, I am NOT clicking on those buttons to find out what they are. :-( Don't get me wrong, I understand the need to pay hosting costs, though the EVDL's are low enough that I can easily cover them out of pocket. Darryl's green server probably costs more than my admittedly brownish shared hosting. Still, if I set up a wiki at evdl.org, I guarantee it won't have ads or tracking. That might not be a big deal for a lot of you, though. At any rate, check out Darryl's page http://www.econogics.com/ev/evhistry.htm and let us know what you think.
