Dear users of the avc-site,

As we are approaching the end of current study period, administrators of the avc-site (Paul Jones and myself) have considered rearranging the directory structure of the ftp site. There are two requirements; one is that we need permanent directories to allow stable linking from other pages, the other is that the most recent directory should appear on top of the list.

A proposal is as follows:

n_0501-0812/ <== the first meeting directory will be here from the start p_0101-0412/ <== all the meetings during this period q_9608-0012/ <== current till_0012 r_9501-9607/ <== current till_9607

The starting alphabet is to meet the second requirement. Probably we should avoid i, l, o to avoid confusion with numbers. In case we need to store older documents, we can create s_, t_ ... directories, and we have a sufficient number of letters for the future.

Please advise me if you see any problems in this plan. I would like to carry out this rearrangement immediately so that the San Jose meeting report can include unchanging links.
