Does anyone here speak Russian? ;-) Perhaps someone here could create a
central classiccmp.org paypal account and we could all donate to it to pay
for monthly fees for hosting which someone could get for us...then the
hosting or server could have http/ftp access to an archive (but non
writable), as well as a ftp account for uploads...the idea I have is to have
the upload account be such that people can upload but not delete to prevent
tampering with the uploads others put up...I don't know how that's done with
linux permissions but an option aside from permissions would be to setup a
cron job to every minute or so move the contents of the upload folder to a
incoming folder that's accessible from the public http and ftp side
The Russian comment is that if someone here does speak russian it would be
possible to get Russian hosting in Russia which would prevent us from having
to deal with US copyright issues and thus be able to upload whatever we want
should some hosting actually get setup, I have 20GB+ of mac files I'd be
willing to upload to the archive :-)
