fair 'nuff =)

would a web interface be pallatable? that way it's easily available from 
everywhere, doesn't require messing with FTP servers and their configurations 
(something i'm personally always wary of for security reasons) and can be 
easily secured with SSL.

really what we're looking for is a document management system, albeit a simple 
one.

if so, there's a KDE-related project underway that would probably do perfectly 
for this ... but i need to talk to the person who's been doing it before i 
say anything more because i'm not sure how public they want it to be right 
now...

/me goes off to hunt down Mr. F
