If I understand you correctly, you'd like RDS to
set up a distribution-only mailing list for registered users,
where RDS would post all new user contributions after
virus scanning them.
That's an interesting possibility, but I think RDS would
have to make money from it somehow, either through
mailing list advertising or an extra charge when you register.
Updating the Web site with new contributions already
takes more time than it might appear. Time that could be
spent on new development. People often
leave a critical file out of their .zip, they don't document
how to run the program, the program crashes, I have to notify
the author etc.
All the .zips on the Web page are stored in a directory
on a hard disk. That hard disk is scanned periodically for viruses.
Viruses are not too likely since most contributions are in source
form, and most are from people that I know.
