Regardless of what format, I think it'd be great to have a collection of finished and reviewed works by people from the community. I know there was a collection of pretty decent stuff on a German chemistry board I followed for a while, as well as one from sciencemadness.org. People submitted things in .pdf with a common format and detailed lists or reagents, protocols, and pictures The things I update on the blog are by no means finished or polished, and I never intended them to be that way. Just like when writing a paper, the rough draft isn't the final copy, but it's still good to get people's feedback and opinions on the rough draft.
There are some times when it's great to sit down and read through journal articles, and expect a really detailed layout of all the information, from materials to protocols an results. Then there are times when it's enjoyable to just be able to peruse casually some of the work people are doing, if anyone happens to even update that, but a few blogs and people seem to. I think there should be a place for both. That's why I liked the DIYBio news feed.
Also, what's wrong with .pdf out of curiosity? I'm not privy to any software or coding secrets really.
Generic text also looks pretty bland in a report format, feels like you're just reading something someone wrote in notepad. I don't know how to describe .pdf's but, they always seem cleaner and have a completed look to whatever their contents are. I wonder if there is something else that gives that same feeling or look?
