Sounds like a good idea to me.

The reason why this is missing is, that the Stella Mailing List is
concentrating on the special 2600 programming problems. As you found out
yourself, there are plenty of sources on the web about programming the
650x (try searching for this or 6507). Duplicating this info doesn't
make sense to me, and everybody who wouldn't be able to find the info
himself, is probably wrong here anyway. ;-)
Have fun!
