Paul & all:

A handbook would be a great idea. Of course it will require lots
of work, and someone to accept the responsibility to do it. It 
would need to be made available thru some outlet to the public.
One note ::: Anything used from the internet very well could be
copyrighted material. Many people will post things on websites
with out credit to ; or permission from the author, or owner.
That will be one thing to be careful to avoid.
