If anybody of the folding boat list wants to participate on the information provided by the baidarka list feel free to check Charles's well maintained archive or buy a CD with the old mails on it. I will mention it on FoldingBoats.
Some members do just that already.
Again, a good suggestion. There is already some cross over, certainly where baidarka list members have also joined the folding boat list. While browsing through the archive of the folding kayak list I got the impression that some of their participants including the owner are following an commercial interest. If I got it right, a book or e-commerce site shall be set up in future exchanging information against money. Please correct me if I am wrong but supporting that is truly not the aim of the baidarka list I suppose.
