It's not really a "group edit." Rather, I've been working on an
inventory of a large ephemera collection (over 3000 listed items) that
will shortly be posted here as "free for shipping to the first
requestor" on an item by item basis.
This is the ephemera collection that Barry Dobbyns posted last fall as
desperately needing a new home. Al and CHM have already pulled what
they want. The rest will be up for grabs in a week or so.. Thus,
I'm looking for an easily and universally accessible place to post the
file without putting the traffic on here. I've not used drop box but
it sounds like it will work.

Dropbox is just another cloud storage provider, you
can sign up for free
and you get some number of gigs to start with... you can pay more for extra
space but the default allocation is fairly generous. There's a client for
most OS platforms that will allow you to mount the DropBox share and have
it look like local storage... probably WebDAV or something. Just go to
www.dropbox.com and you can set up an account. Some of the folks that I
support at U-M use it for casual data transfers. It's been around for a
while now.
If you wanted to have the spreadsheet up as like a group-edit kind of
thing, maybe better to use Google Docs?

How did you set up the dropbox? cost? size limits?
I'm looking at posting a large spreadsheet for the list to use and am
looking at options

I've digitized several early PDP-8 related
printsets and placed them
online in a public Dropbox folder. Circumstances did not allow direct
scanning of the documents - they were photographed and then post-processed
to produce .pdf files. Conditions were less than optimal and the resultant
files are quite large but hopefully these files will be of use to those who
need them.
The files are:
779 Power Supply
832 Power Controller
PDP-8/I Printset
DM01 Printset
KW8I Printset
TC01 Printset
TU55 Printset
The files are located at: http://tinyurl.com/PDP8I-docs
