: allow a short (casual) form of archive registration for FTP sites.
As far as I am concerned, only the site registration is necessary.
Your registration is just fine. Particularly when the site
specializes as you do. In that case, a description of what you
specialize in, in the DE lines, is all that is needed in order
to make your information useful.
However, I'd not like less than what you provided, as that would make
life more difficult for the person trying to see what you have and
how to get it.
: I think that for an index of archives,
: the number of sites is more important that the detail of description.
You are right, so long as there is enough information that the
database is useful.
: The pub/map directory is writeable by anonymous ftp.
Isn't that dangerous?
