I'll cc the box-admins: How about we give people personal directories on squeak.org for such experiments, e.g. squeak.org/~edc ?

• Bert -

OK, first did you mean

http://ftp.squeak.org/users/edgardec/ ftp//ftp.squeak.org/users/edgardec/

(examples, these don't actually exist today)

or some similar thing? I mean, you don't mean just having a personal account?

Anyway, I'll assume that. In fact we have 2 things that are similar but not exactly this

1. http://ftp.squeak.org/various_images/

in fact Edgar is the primary user of this:

http://ftp.squeak.org/various_images/FunSqueak/ http://ftp.squeak.org/various_images/SqueakLight/

The idea is that the web-team manages this and uploads the files for you and at the same times manages the 'Pre-configured images' section of

http://www.squeak.org/Download/

This can be requested by asking the web-team.

2. Alternately any user account can be setup (ask me) and use

http://users.squeak.org/~kencausey/ (for example)

What this lacks is FTP support.

We have to be a little careful with this, I'm not inclined to give just anyone login access to the server at this point and we don't have a lot of diskspace to allocate either. But I could certainly accommodate a few people who can control themselves. ;)
