	I would not set any restriction. We will have to do a lot of work
in getting authors on board. I hope to be wrong, but we sould not expect
lots of documents being uploaded in the first months. If just a server is
not enough, then it is because the service is working and we will have no
problem getting other machines... :-)

	I told you, Antonella, about this possibility several weeks ago,
but now I think we could have problems with the maintenance of such
machines. We are very few people and should concentrate all our efforts
in creating an (may be multilingual) international archive for LIS.
