Hi,

Mario suggested that you guys might be able to host the binaries of the Lispbox distributions I'm building for readers of _Practical Common Lisp_. I was wondering how we'd go about setting that up--all I really need for the moment is somewhere to drop some rather large files that will then show up on the web. I'm planning to put up some preliminary versions of my Lispbox builds for Linux and OS X next week or so to let folks kick the tires before I put up the official versions on April 11th (book publication day).
Hm... The lispbox project handle is already taken by the Lisp In A Box project...
In the future it might make sense to make this a proper project or to combine my work with Matthew Danish's Lisp in a Box project. But for the moment I'm mostly concerned with getting the files somewhere folks can grab them. (BTW, the license on Lispbox itself is BSD sans advertising with all the components (Emacs, whatever Lisp, SLIME) licensed under their own licenses obviously.)
One possibility is just to open a project for it. This way you have ftp and webspace for a page, and if you ever wanted to make it more of a /project/, all would be set up. We can disable the mailing lists for the moment, if you want. I can set up something simpler too, just an ftp directory and webspace, for instance. However you wish.
BTW, if you are only looking for temporary hosting (as I understood from your message at c.l.l.), then that is perfectly alright too.
Regards, Mario.
