Certainly, it would be great if I also received these basic data by PM.
Target of the potential audience? Club Players, Masters.

Levels and so on? Correspondence Chess, Over the Board Chess, ...

How detailed should the repertoire should be? Main weapon and second. A couples of variants to be refuged if the main line should to be fixed ...

Tony could you kindly send me a PM with "this important information" prior to start the hard work of selection and compilation of the material?

The idea is to prepare a nice repertoire based in the recommended variants/openings.

And prepare a Repertoire Book that can be used for any subscriber if the lines selected fits on his/her style.

The repertorie "Active Black Side" has been my personal choice for the last 20 years. :-D

It's one thing to recommend a repertoire, another to write it all out.  If its not going to be superficial, it will be a lot of work for one person, even one as industrious as TN.  Maybe the way to do it is to decide on a particular set of openings and then have forum members sign up to cover particular lines, with TN as the central coordinator.  So if its the French vs. 1.e4, someone takes the Winawer, someone else takes the Tarrasch, etc.   

The Benko is certainly active, although it may not be sound enough to include in the repertoire, even as a second defence.

Like Kasparov do in his later years?

what about KID?

I am thinking on a "Active Black Repertoire"

Sveshnikov as First Weapon vs 1.e4
Kalashnikov as Second Weapon

Grunfeld as First Weapon vs 1.d4
Second Weapon to be fixed. Any suggestions?

Something to play vs 1.Nf3 and 1.c4 in a Grunfeld Style.

Most likely. Carlsen and Mamedyarov have been doing well with it, which is as good a reason as any.
