- Well, Why don't we just get someone to make space on an ftp site that has
- NOTHING to do with ARDI and just tell people in the FAQ that there is an
- UNSUPPORTED FTP site for HFV files. I !might! be able to arrange something like
- this (but would be interested in other offers, as well). They could then be
- submited and checked out by the maintainer of the area. You could even require
- that the submitter use a valid email address when submitting to tie a little
- responsibility to the uploads....(of course this upload area would be write-only
- (no-read) to prevent software pirates from using the directory to upload and
- download software before the administrator takes a look at it.....
