Has the notes for the OOPSLA workshop been posted yet? RE: Fixing the problems with the Yahoo vault? Any conclusions as to whether to use the Wiki space or the Sandbox space as a replacement? Did anyone consider the replacement interface I mentioned below? I'd be willing to install this in the Sandbox if desired. Rene Rivera wrote:

The yahoo file section ("vault") is ok - but having to register is a pain.
Can't we find a directory withing boost (or maybe the wiki?) to just have this very important collection of zipped files?
As I understand it the sandbox is a supplement to the vault not a replacement. It has the large benefit of being CVS and getting revision control from it.
Clearly the Yahoo vault needs to get replaced. And I did some search for a replacement recently. My suggestion would be to set aside some of the web space of the sandbox to provide our own file vault. The most natural replacement interface I found for this was:
http://phpatm.kc-it.com/index.html PHP Advanced Transfer Manager (phpATM)
It is very much like the Yahoo interface. And has the options to remove the hindrances that the Yahoo interface does not, like the registration. We could carve out something like 50Meg just for this. That gives people the area to put things without having SF access.
