This is not something that can be automated so easily, it requires
someone who is passionate about the upkeep.
Well, I do not expect to get an automatically written blog, but I do like
to see a site where you can explore without previous knowledge.
So in that, it indeed is more similar to a news or blog style than a search
engine.
It could e.g. show some recently entered new items, and options
to "show more like this" on such an item, "show such a service near to
me", etc.
(Yacy has something like that for geographical location)
It should be such that when you visit the site you may find out
that people offer remote receivers, and that one technology in
use is the "websdr", and then you can check which "websdr"
servers there are on AMPRnet, where they are located, what bands they
offer, etc. Without having to start with the seach term "websdr",
which assumes you already know what that is.
I think that better aligns with the needs of the new user who has
entered the "new world" of AMPRnet (or HAMradio in general) and
whats to know what it has to offer, wants to learn, etc.
As long as it is not too large it could be as simple as showing a table
of everything it knows, with options to sort, scroll through it, etc.
But that of course can become unusable when there is lots of info.
