Converting C64 mags?

I've been thinking a bit and have wondered if there would be any interest in an effort to convert the text of old c64 mags into readable ascii that can be put on the web. This would make all the text of the old mags searchable and might provide a really valuable resource for the community. Does this sound like something viable or would it just be a waste of time? Comments please.

I have done some (complete) text ripps from our diskmagazine Internal a long time ago... if I can find them I could send them to you. Maybe you can encourage me to do the other Internal mags aswell ;)

Would you be interested in articles from Scene World? Most of them are in TXT format to begin with, although final editing may make important changes...

Fucking awesome work. This is definately a piece of work that can erectify the historic writings of the C64 scene. Not only was media a lifeform of its own at one point, but also a good encyclopedia and capsule of what was going on during certain times.
