Questions about cartography in a digital age

[NewStudent]

So it would be a sort of historical record and current showcase forum, as opposed to a creative community like this one?

Yes the creative aspect wouldn't be one of the main focuses, more education/information/entertainment, with a (hopefully) massive collection of maps from different parts of the world or the classic globe.
Would you ever visit a website like that for informational purposes?

I might do... but if I need to know something in particular, like what kind of ink was used on parchment or vellum so that I can try to digitally imitate the appearance, I usually just Google things and end up looking at a Wiki page.

People used to scoff at Wiki, and some still do, but its the most frequently used online encyclopaedia in the world. You would have to compete with Wiki to get to the top of the Google and Bing search lists and get yourselves noticed.

EDIT: Unless, of course you were intending to leave a load of useful links lying around here for me to use
