I'm game for whatever helps this group as long as the server doesn't become a 
warez repository or Napster II.  I saw a rather brief introduction to Plone 
(http://www.plone.org) at OSCON (O'Reilly's Open Source Convention) and was 
impressed with it - plus it's got a ebuild.  It has many of the features 
Arnold mentions (versioning, roles, workflow, etc) and used Zope's CMF.  It 
may be worth looking at.  However it shakes out, I just wanted to make sure 
bandwith/hardware didn't slow down the groups progress.  There's enough work 
to do without adding to it.  (my 2 cents)

No sense in being pessimistic, 
   It wouldn't work anyway...
