I have attempted to do this by creating an index of all the vanagon
techincal articles out there.  They need not be all on the same server as
long as there's a good way to search it and its updated frequently.  I have
recieved little feedback from the list on the site (perhaps becauase of its
lack of "frills" fancy text etc.)  Check it out and send me your
suggestions as i'm sure you will have many:

Also I agree with you that a lot of junk comes across the list BUT unless
you've been a bus driver for 30 years like yourself and know these vehicles
in and out it's the best free advice out there!  Try looking at it from the
point of view of someone who has been into VW's for only a year or two.
You may have little to gain from the list but others have much more to gain
and you sure have a lot to give so I encourage you to stay on the list and
help someone out who has much less knowledge than you.  It's good Karma.
