/project/PROJECT directories are owned by the same group as the project members, this allows members to create files/directories in the project directories. I don't know if you want to allow this or not.
I don't know. What do y'all think?
Gut instinct: disallow everything unnecessary. ,)
If nothing else, it will keep the directory structure clear, and if we decide to use "foo" as canonical directory for fnordification we can, without worrying about existing infratructure of non-std projects.
The other alternative is to think of /project/<name> as the home-directory of each project, and promise them that things work as expected as long as they have public_html, ftp, etc, but otherwise let them play as they like in their own yard.
...the reason I'm a bit dubious about this is that this is morally equivalent to encouraging people to use the shell-account for actually doing stuff...
Which brings me to a different topic: I've been using a few simple scripts to manage linedit things, and have been thinking about making them public after a bit of generalization, for the convenience of other Common-lisp.net users. ...but more on this later. ;)
