That is one way of approaching it, and we have sites like: https://hamnet.nl/ https://hobbyscoop.nl/
But in practice it turns out that it is hard to keep this going, as you need authors/editors willing to spend effort to write articles and keep the site attractive.
I was thinking more of a service directory, with the occasional explanatory text when it was entered by the owner, but with no maintenance to be done on the site itself. It would just get its feed from the systems that run each service.
But probably it is naive to think that it will be that self-running...
The only thing I know is that the question "what can I do with that Hamnet/AMPRnet connection" keeps coming back, and people are often interested when you mention certain services (like VoIP) and tell them all about it, but they would like it even more when they could find those things themselves and browse around to see what would be nice to try next.
