there's a new files section in the groups website.  you can
upload everything there. there's a simple README on what
to do; hopefully everyone will read it before they post :-)

we've got about 20MB of space left.  if files are around 30
seconds each than we theoretically have room for about
40 entries a month.  judging from the response so far,
that should be enough for now. if things change than we'll
cross that bridge when we come to it.

that should work just fine.

hmmm.... it would be better if we could just leave the Soundclick thing
for archiving each months entries, but keep the group's website for
the current entries (so that they're easy to find/get to).  but again, I
don't know if there will be space.  I don't imagine that Soundclick 
would
give us more than a couple month's worth of MD space (i.e. 40MB+).
