	"potluck" is a 15-Megabyte world-writeable filesystem for
"putting neat things".  It is different from the "bitbucket" locker in
that it is intended to serve as a repository for contributions and
semi-permanent items of public interest, whereas "bitbucket" is
intended for large-scale temporary workspace.

	There is no policy for use of potluck, other than a request
that people use bitbucket for workspace and only put into potluck
things that other people would want to come across and explore.

	If [WHEN] space becomes a problem, I will politely ask
specific people if some things can be moved or deleted.  Brute
force will be a last resort.

ps. I started this space with 15M deducted from my own quota.  
    Similar contributions would be welcome.
