This looks to be a very useful experiment.  Would that all projects
have something along these lines.  If you do start to have problems
with warez traders, you may adopt a strategie like CPAN, ie each
uploader has there own login.  This, of course, is an administrative
drag...

About the .blurbs : very useful as well.  However, maybe a small
script that would munge the file into HTML for, so we don't have to
cut/paste the URLs, would be in order?  I could code it up in perl.

Yes, will be an option. We'll see. When all works fine we don't need it. When
it goes worse I'll give out special admin accounts, of course.

Oh, the script is already there. The old Distrib/Misc/ used an ePerl embedded
script for this. I've just to adapt it for the new Contrib area. I'll do this
today. Thanks for this suggestion and also thanks for your coding offer,
Ohilip.
