Sure! Sounds like a good idea.

It may be good to put them up on vogonsdrivers.com in the documentation section. If you don't already have an account, either message SquallStrife or put them someplace we can download them from and then we can upload them.

Another option would be to put them on archive.org

bitsavers, archive.org, most is probably already there, but if you happen to have something unique please dump it online

Is there actually a section for in-depth documentation? I reckoned that the files stored there are merely archives of end-user content shipping with commercial products, manuals and drivers alike.

Archive's library is one big jungle, but I did find some useful things on half-working archived sites. If the files weren't stored, then I could at least find references to filenames to search for online.

How big is the archive?

I'd really appreciate if vogonslibrary had a section for technical (i.e. not the usual consumer end-user) documentation.

But I am pessimistic as there is no developer-relevant sub forum either. All things related to software [and hardware] development/modding thus gets deeply buried in a mass of repetitive boring end-user questions.
If one needs actual information one has to sift through thousands of useless posts because there is no development-grade sub forum which would make for higher quality search results.

The problem with Archive.org is that it is difficult to search. And often only filenames etc are available but not the real content, as you already mentioned. This is extremely frustrating.
Please do not assume the stuff is already present on bitsavers! Upload it there please.

You're welcome to upload on Vogons Wiki. I can increase upload size if needed.

I have a fairly large old GPU documentation collection (I gave it all to vlask at http://vgamuseum.info/ and he incorporated 99% of it).

I would be happy to compare collections and de-duplicate.

To clarify, many of said documents pertain to programming of specific GPU architectures or paradigms. I don't expect these to have much practical value... just the way we* like it.
I stumbled upon an official collection of some of these documents packed up in a zip file, hosted on a now defunct NVIDIA page. As a bonus, they come in the form of powerpoint presentations rather than the PDF's I had. Still a lot missing, though.
