For those of you who may not have seen this already, http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/ is a very ambitious project to document every file fomat ever made. You may not be surprised to learn it is currently incomplete :-) For example, there is a rudimentary Apple DOS entry (which I created) but currently no ProDOS entry at all.
I have recently started adding some info to it on different 8 bit file formats I have decoded over the years, but others on this newsgroup much more knowledgeable than I may want to contribute. For example, I know Bill Buckels has contributed extensively to the BSAVE file format on wikipedia, and it would be great if he was to contribute that info to the ArchiveTeam site as well. (The ArchiveTeam site uses a very permissive 'CC 0' license, essentially 'public domain', whereas as Wikipedia uses a slightly more restrictive 'CC-SA' license which I think means only the original author/copyright holder can copy content verbatim)
