Thanks folks for the encouraging replies!

After considering the pros and cons of using a wiki, as Steve Davies 
suggested, for this particular purpose - the pros seem to carry over. A 
wiki has the advantage of letting people write using simple yet elegant 
wiki syntax (which is a kind of shorthand html code without the hassle). 
It also enables people to collaborate, if they wish, which might be an 
added bonus.  I have been using PmWiki (http://pmwiki.org) in the past 
with good effect, so (at this stage at least) that will be my first choice.

The site will become available at http://recipes.rollspelshornan.se in 
short while. Don't expect any content or for that matter to be able to 
contribute in the next week or so, I need to configure the site and add 
some extra plugins that I suspect might come in handy. I will post a 
"to-do" list at the sites frontpage so the interested parties can keep 
track of the sites development.

I will implement a rules repository as step one, then I'll create a 
structure for posting creatures, critters, spells etc. and finally I'll 
look into providing the possibility of posting scenarios. The later 
would probably best be handled by people posting pdf files to a mailbox 
and then I'll make the pdf-documents available on one or more wikipages. 
The reason why I I'm hesitant to allow people to post files unrestricted 
is simply to make sure that nothing "inappropriate" is being posted. Not 
that I would dream of censoring any contributions, but mp3:s, 
executables and various lewd pictures do not belong on a site like this.

Stay tuned!
