Yes this is a great idea!  I think I'll start using this one:

Bless the Name
Curtis Hinson
What pronunciation should I use?  Modern or Reconstructed, see Randall 
Buth or your nearest Greek.
Should I use interlinears?  No, never, they're evil and wrong and 
they'll cripple your Greek ability.
How can I search the archive?  Firefox: http://tinyurl.com/ydwjp6    
Internet Explorer: http://tinyurl.com/ykro2m
I've having trouble with X encoding...     Don't use it, use Unicode.
What bible software is best?  BibleWorks, Gramcord, Accordance, and 
Logos are all superb, depends on your needs.
Can I get the Greek bible on my PDA?    Yes, there are half a dozen good 
free and commercial PDA bible softwares.
