Please don't be insulted, I appreciate very much what you are doing for
GNU Pascal, but I think your note gives a good impression of the major 
obstacles for newcomers to gpc. A lot of information is hidden behind 
the web sites in personal memories. 

I know of the following sites:

http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/h-index.html 
http://alignment.hep.brandeis.edu/Software/Pascal/Pascal.html
http://www.microbizz.nl/gpc.html 
https://github.com/hebisch/gpc

Maybe there are more. Some infos from the  brains went to  the mailing
list and is available in the archive. But it is unclear to me (and I guess others 
also) which information is still relevant and which is out of date. This is a 
bit frustrating, but as long as we have only more or less hobbyists working 
on GNU Pascal, we are out of luck.

I do not know who, how, and where the collected and hopefully current 
information could be concentrated, but I think it would be very good to
have a central place ...

Peter Gerwinski noted las march a vague chance to have some student 
working for her/his thesis on GNU Pascal ...
