I thought about this while reading dfg's bomb thread, and I posted this there:

That review is pretty old, but it's the only review there is in the whole ka-fucking-boom textfile section. Jeff Hunter wasn't a chemist and I don't think he gave a shit whether or not the textfiles were accurate. Probably there are tons in there that don't work. We need people to go through and either validate they're "safe" to use or put them in a folder for unreliable text files.
A lot of the textfiles are totally outdated. The hacking and phreaking ones are pretty much worthless at this point. We need new textfiles that cover relevant topics, and we need to move the old, useless, and non-working ones to a "vintage" subfolder where they can sit and people can access them and know that they're not really useful anymore.
We need people who know about bombs, hacking, drugs, etc., to go through the text files and see which ones are accurate and which ones are shit. Shit ones need to be put together in a folder, and good ones should be left where they are. Our new files should be added to the old ones.
We don't want inaccurate shit in the textfiles. No one will trust them if some are flat out wrong or just dangerous. We want real information, not disinformation.
This project will require people who know about chemistry, electronics, hacking, drugs and everything else in the textfiles to go through and review them all. It'll take a long time, and we'll probably need a lot of people to help out.
Thoughts?

If you're willing to help you will get contributor access.
I'm saying that before bothering with putting them in the CMS, we need to make sure they're worthwhile. The shit ones can stay in a subfolder.
