Repository of queries and reports

There are constant requests for reposts of reports and other rms files.

I want to offer up some hosting space to have a simple repository of custom
reports, sql queries, and other relevant customization fiels for RMS. I am
wondering if there is anything inherently wrong with that in regards to
licensing and copyright. Any comments?

What I envision is that people would send files to an email address I set up
and I would dump the attachments into some public webspace. It would be kind
of a free-for-all of files for people to use as examples.

Also, would there be any security risks I should consider? I certainly don't
want to be liable for someone screwing up theier data with files downloaded
from my website.

Example site started here: http://natureisle.com/rms

If I receive positive feedback I will provide an email address to which
files can be sent.

I certainly don't know about the legal or liability issues, but I would
welcome this kind of a setup. I commend you for being willing to offer up
the space and your time posting email attachments to the site. I hope there
aren't any issues with doing this because it would certainly benefit the
community to have such a resource. My main concern would be copyright issues
with the reports and receipts but since many of them are offered up here for
free I wouldn't think it should be a problem.

I think this would be an excellent idea. I'm sure that the authors of the
reports would also appreciate a repository so that they don't have to keep
reposting.

i agree great idea. Not sure that some of the "partners" are going to like
it. My partner has a ton of these reports but they are his "property" which I
understand. But i think if we have a site for retailers this would be great.
