I've come out of lurk mode to respond to this. I'm several digests behind - had
a 4 - day visit
to meet my first grand-child. :-)

Williams ( brain-failure on my part, forget his first name, begins with "S" or
"C"?) did the
properly randomised choice of swap partners, and for many years I did the
hosting, with
Steve Dropkin helping.
Here is the website which I host at my "old" first site which is still alive.
Written in pure html. All film-based photos I think.
My goodness. The hours and hours I used to spend trying to get it all "right".
I forget what
software I used to re-size the thumb-nail images.
The first one or two swaps were partially lost after a change in host operative.

Enjoy !!
I'd be in favour, for sure.
The main problem we faced when administering the exchange was that persons
would
"enter" and then just never actually do it. I think in the end that actual
entry was conditional
on a digitalised image being sent to me and a statement to the effect that the
print had
actually been posted off. Some people jibbed at meeting the cost of
international postage.
Oh dear; the expense !!!. To think of it.
