If you'd like to write a HOWTO or 2, I can suggest some for you ;-)

If you could handle maintaining a page with this information, it would be 
quite a help!  This is something I'd like to add to the machine-status 
page, but unfortunately, it changes rather often, and there are so many 
kernels floating about that I don't have time to keep track of them all.  
If you could do so, it would be wonderful!

I think that I've got sites for this mentioned in the Meta-FAQ.  The two 
main locations for mac68k binaries are on ftp.macbsd.com and the various 
NetBSD-Amiga archive mirrors (which ftp.netbsd.org is one).

> 4) A list of personal homepages concerning NetBSD.

This might be nice, assuming there is enough info on any of these pages.  
There are a few pages that I need to add to the Meta-FAQ, but most of the 
interesting ones are on there already, I think.

> I am wide open to suggestions.

Think about the 2 I've noted above.  I have a few more things in mind, 
but I need to flesh them out more.

Later.
