Regarding the list of movies and documentaries and clips featuring our beloved display technology, I would suggest to experiment a collaborative approach that I have successfully used to write a FAQ within a community similar to neonixie-l (worldwide, nobody knew each other before, just sharing a common interesst and English language).
A spreadsheet is created on Google Docs/Drive and it is left open for editing to anyone knowing the link. The system embeds versioning control, so mistakes or unwanted deletions can be recovered. All editing is done through the web browser: no need for a specific software, no need to circulate a file and merge versions. The platform supports concurrent editing of the same document, so you might find yourself working on a row, while someone else edits other cells (if you've been dealing with multiple editors of a single document you'll love this feature!). Hoping not to step over moderators, If you want to give it a try I made a draft in the group's files section and added references that I know of: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12flg9o8OFw3oAlLBToHj pNLt1VdUuMSRkMb-7SJ4xuA/edit?usp=sharing *The focus is on videos showing nixies in use in their original device and time*. Technically "Tomorrowland" does not qualify under those conditions, but the collaborative work will shape the content of the list. The table is not meant to link personal projects or current products. I would also leave out static media like screenshots or pictures to avoid copyright infringments. Once data has been collected, global permission to write will be removed and potentially ownership transferred to mods. If this approach will not lead to meaningful data I will remove the file on May 8th, 2017.
