Well, I could offer to put it up on my web site. ;-)
I've done this with a number of collections, which was one way to
develop a large collection of tunes with little effort. But greed and
power aside, I've always preferred to encourage people to set up
their own web site if at all possible. Or prevail on a close friend
who has some web space. That way, you have personal control over it,
you can organize it however you like, and you can make changes at any
time. Also, I think that much of the value of the web is the way that
it encourages everyone to do things their own way. A thousand flowers
and all that.
Or I could further my grand design on corralling the web's abc tune
collections in a search for power, and put a copy on my site.
