I already started another Yahoogroup just for files, but only a few
have joined it.

For that matter, I'd rather keep "control" of any URLs, etc. Just
because I've seen this happen before in several other groups/clubs
where someone who has control of some vital resource has a family
emergency, divorce, job change, or falling out with the group and that
resource becomes inaccessible or worthless to the group.

I get my website via NeonHQ.com. They have been very reliable. One
current deal is 200Megs (five times the 20M/20M space in Files and
Photos here), 3Gig bandwidth for $5 a month. Domain registration is
$9.50 the first time, $8 a year after. Not the cheapest, but reliable
and unlike some like Net Solutions, we'd own the domain name.

That's about $70 a year. Honestly I think it'd be tough to get 70
people to reliably donate $1 a year. But requiring payment would have
a freezing affect on the list. If I were not so broke, I'd just cover
it myself.
