I think this would be super!

You mentioned that people will feel like they "have" to upload files and I
agree. I also think it is ripe for abuse. While I at first thought separate
files would be good, I'm rethinking it. Maybe if people realize that huge
directories are difficult to manage, they will self-impose limits. One
directory would work in admins' favors here. Also, would that make the disk
space totals easier? I'd take a single directory, warning system and lock
with delete/'pages affected listing' if I could order it. :)

Ignore that doddering fool!
An alphabetized list, I think I meant to say, would be useful for a delete
function but not for lists.
