Funny you should post this as I was about to post something to the effect that  
we need to find a solution.  Some developers rely to greater or lesser extent  
on the archives as a distribution media.  NeXT itself is in this category.

I have been very frustrated for several weeks as I have an app that I would  
like to sell, but cannot because I can't get it onto either sonata or orst.  I  
am not abusing anybody.  I have a legitimate (and stripped! ;) app which I  
think (hope) many would like to purchase (I'll announce it when it becomes  
possible for someone to obtain it).

Is there another site to which we can move (and posthaste start filling up ;)?

I agree that its about time to truly archive some of that old stuff.  There  
must be a precendent for this sort of problem on other far older sites.
