A good website for Mahayana texts?
score:6
I use Fodian.net a lot.
There are two categories of Mahayana texts, the ones that made it to China and the ones that made it to Tibet.
Within a specific sect or tradition, some sects have fantastic online documents, such as SGI's Nichiren library.
I'm less familiar with the Tibetan ones, but I do know that some of the Mahayana texts also made it to Tibet.
Scholars like Jan Nattier sometimes has to do comparison of the Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan to reconstruct a text.

You can try to take a look at Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai. They are trying to translate most of the tripitakas into english but right now they only have a few text translated.

I love http://chancenter.org/
It has an extensive collection of free e-books, Chan Magazine & Dharma talks (in texts, audio, video) by highly qualified Zen Master Sheng Yen and other ancient and modern teachers, such as Hanshan Deqing, Xu Yun etc.
The Dharma talks and the books cover full specter of Mahayana teachings, from basic topics like Three Refuges to the practice of Six Paramitas, to intricacies of Shurangama sutra and so on.
All the instructions are very practical, clear and inspiring.
More than 1000 of brief videos by Master Sheng Yen on various questions about Dharma: https://www.youtube.com/user/DDMTV05 (English subs. You can find also versions with Spanish subs and maybe some others).
