One thing that complicates this - there is data on the server that
isn't appropriate to have on Bill's PC (not because of anything
personal I have against Bill.)  The stuff in /home/board isn't on the
wiki for a reason.

And at the same time, I really like having the data spread out among
the membership (and not just the board, not to mention the fact that
it would be a headache every time there's a new board.)

I have a good idea of how to do this, but I can't spell it all out
right now.  Hopefully this is not a Fermat's Last Theorem situation.
