OK, well the easiest way to do this is to have your registrar point your
DNS at my hosting..
Ppppttttthhhhh.... Don't need no stinkin' registrar....
Actually my registrar is pretty cool and I can edit the DNS directly for
the domains that I own. What do you want ? An A record? Or a CNAME might
be more appropriate in this case. What's the IP and/or redirect name?
And what subname? "wiki.decnet.org" ??

Actually, a Wiki with some documentation would be a great idea.
But it s the same answer I m just offering the domain name; somebody else has to set up the machine and service.

I'll host it if everyone is cool for the low-end hosting that I use (i.e. Dreamhost)..
They also do automatically updated mediawiki + wordpress installs so that'll work.

I can offer server space if no one else does although I *really* need to rebuild my colo server and that's going to be such an amazingly large pain in the ass to do.

One is just a DNS entry, the other is a machine. :-)
Right (!!). I'll set up the DNS pointer - you set up the machine :-)
Seriously - let me know the IP and I'll add the DNS entry.

I suppose I *could*, but if someone else feels a bit more driven, that would be good. I'm not good at web design, or user interfaces in general. I'm way more into the technical details of things...

That way people could collaborate on the material instead of leaving it up to one person.
Installing a basic Wordpress + Mediawiki site (at least using my hosting) is like 20 mins of work...

Great idea!
Why not use it for connectivity to the outside world from HECnet? There
could be a gateway which translates the names and - if needed - DECnet
to TCP/IP and vice versa. DEC used to have an alias domain
(enet.dec.com) for the internal machines so that they could connect to
hosts outside the internal network.
I should point out that DNS is not the same as having a gateway. One is just a DNS entry, the other is a machine. :-)
That said, I wouldn't mind if we could come up with something useful for this. Having it point to somewhere where we can collect all resources in a better way would be nice.
