It works fine for me.

There's a database maintained by RDS that contains people
who can upload files to RDS and/or use the EUforum Web interface.
Topica has its own database of people who use Topica to send/receive
EUforum messages via e-mail. These are two separate databases.

That would be great.
Once you've registered, there's a Web form you can fill out,
and a way to upload a .zip file.

To register, you just have to type your name and e-mail
address in the pink box and click "Register Me!".

You'll be sent a 6-character password. For most people,
a cookie remembers the password for them. If you don't like
cookies, you'll have to remember it somehow. If you forget,
the system will send you a new password.

This semi-automated system saves me a lot of time,
gives you more control over your file's description,
and let's you update your programs more easily.
It also reduces the delay in updating the contributions page.
