A Squeak-based ftp program would absolutely complement the whole Squeak/swiki collaborative atmosphere. I've got to tell you, so many people asked me about Squeak and swiki's at the meeting in DC. By the end of the meeting everyone agreed that a website should be set up for all the Universities participating in the grant so that discussions and postings could be in one central place. What they liked the most about the system were:
1) Both are user-friendly and you don't have to be a computer scientist or system administrator to set it up or use it. 2) Both are free :-) 3) The swiki holds all the information for an entire organization in one central location (automatically organized into files, because of the way files are uploaded to the corresponding pages) which can be accessed at any time or place and shared (via CD this time). 4) It bypasses all the bueuracracies of the system adminstrators and it is completely accessible at all times.
