I have a bunch of content that I've collected over the years.

I've applied for an account. Once I have that I'll see about turning it from
whatever free-from text format I used years ago into wiki-script and then
uploading it.

It won't be exciting, but it will be data (sometimes with references too).

I've emailed him, too.  He does travel a lot. I'll be slow in adding
content - an upcoming publication, teaching next quarter and a dissertation
in process take up most of my time - but I do have a VAX 6000-660.  :-)  --

Per the note on the main page:

  http://gunkies.org/wiki/Main_Page

on the right hand side, one needs to send email to Tore (tore...@gmail.com),
because they'd had spammer issues.

He's often very busy - try sending him a reminder.

Where to should one send account requests? There doesn't seem to be a
registration page on that wiki.
I tried sending an email to Tore a while back (early October) but
haven't got a response.
(I'm no Vax expert, but there are other pages on that wiki which I
know a bit about).

And plenty of entries for terminals and PDP-8 models below that...

So, looking at the list of 'wanted pages' on the Computer History' wiki:

  http://gunkies.org/wiki/Special:WantedPages

the top page or so of entries are all about various Vaxen.

Is there a volunteer our there to sign up as an editor there (note:
applications have to be approved, which can take a couple of days, due to
busyness on the part of the admin) to start writing up VAX content?
