I've created a Yahoo group at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Olympus-Documentation/
Anyone can put the files in the Files area, but big PDFs will have to go
elsewhere, as there is a 20 MB limit.
Links to the PDFs can be put in the Bookmarks section.
Yahoo groups also limits individual files to 5120 MB

Garth, is there any way you can schedule access to non-work times, e.g. 7pm
to 7am, replacing the esif pages with a simple page that says try back
then?
And could you upload the web site (except PDFs) to the Files section of
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Olympus-Documentation/
(Yes, I think it has to be done 1 by 1....)
Anyone can view the files. Only members can upload.
