I like that idea. ?Archive all stuff as is somewhere else, then start fresh. ?Somebody who has been around for awhile copies over anything that matters, like schematics and instructions for older rigs. ?And we have guidelines for what's appropriate to put in the new files section. ?Maybe a tmp directory, for stuff like pictures of you unwrapping the package from hfsigs? ?Maybe somebody maintains an index file, pointing to stuff in the file section they think matters, with the number of the post in the message section that might need to accompany it?
Perhaps start a new group: bitx40? ?Leave bitx20 to the build-from-scratch folks?
As is, there's way too much clutter to find stuff that matters. ?Having a max of 1gig hovering over us could help keep things findable. ?When somebody asks "what component values should I use for 80 meters", a response of "Just look in the files section" is currently not very helpful.
I see that the minima mailing list archive has all attachments stripped from postings. ?That includes html. ?Some posts were sent as html instead of straight ascii text, those have now been lost to posterity.

We could use third party storage with sharing links for older files, and/or larger files.
