I'd love to do this on RHESUS:: since it had Apache running on it, could've kept it more or less constantly updated.
However RHESUS is offline for some reason and I'm 2000+ miles away from its physical location.
So I'll write the scraper on another box and produce an HTML table of public HECnet services.

I'd think the way to do this would be for everyone to document their
public services in an extension (.BEGIN-PUBLIC-SERVICES?) to the
existing INFO.TXT file. Then have CHIMPY or somebody harvest those and
post the results on a web page.
I like this idea.

Somebody come up with the format (ideally CSV separated by pipe | signs) and I'll write a crawler -> HTML converter.

Good idea, one line of CSV with some tags around it maybe (.BEGIN-PUB / .END-PUB)..

Guys. Do anyone maintain a list of public machines that guests would be welcome to log in to in a form presentable from the web? People in comp.os.vms are asking about public VMS systems around, and it might be an opportunity to make HECnet a little more publicly visible.
I know that I've kept HECnet at a very low profile for a long time, but maybe a little exposure would be positive? Or people prefer us to remain secret?
I do from time to time tell about MIM, but I'm not saying much about any other system, or HECnet in general.

I like this idea. It would be fun to expose more people to DECnet in
a "not corporate" environment.
