WARNING: NEW TO LIST
	
Sorry if this is off your topic, but it is Gopher+ related.  
I have been looking for a system to offer about 100,000+ 
files on the Internet - either in gopher, some sort of 
mysql/php deal, or even a testosterone injected ftp.  The 
basic requirements are:

* The system will read the directory structure for the files.  
I don't want to have to "upload" each file. 

* Full text description of each file

* Category hierarchy and ability to move the files (and the 
descriptors) with them from category to category

* Top downloads and new files.

* Maybe a rating system, but this is getting a little greedy 
I think.

It seems like starting with Gopher makes sense, but I haven't 
seen a Gopher system that does this.  Could it be that this 
is exactly what this list is all about?  

I am glad I found this list, and hope I can contibute 
something.
