I would personally very much prefer if posts of this sort *NOT* be done
until the group splits off into some kind of hierarchy.  There are already
nice, automatic, relatively easy to use, preexisting methods for people who
can FTP to get files from many big archive sites.  I'd just make sure that
the files in question make it onto those sites.  Why waste all of that
network bandwidth?

Thanks,

P.S.	You know the drill.  GeoWorks speaks for itself.
