One idea that another list I'm on is using is that a list member is
making space available on his own web site as well as protocol for
posting to a public directory of his site.  Kind of like FTP sites, or
warez sites.  Then list members could post a pointer to the text they
would like people to review, and those who chose to could retrieve the
file.  Jim?, anyone with enough control over their web site space to
provide this service to the list?  I can get more details about
implementation if you need it.

On the other list, a list for jazz musicians, the problem was that
people wanted to publish notated examples.  We settled on Adobe's
portable document format.  If we did that here, we could also upload,
download, and critique exhibit label design.
