the possibly of public repositories for aoir eprints has been discussed and there is an eprints server that could do this. There are significant questions that need to be answered before any group other than aoir does anything with the conference papers. If individuals want to post them to a public eprints archive, that is fine. I can provide that service to individuals through the CDDC eprint server, which is available now for public use at http://eprints.cddc.vt.edu and works just fine. I'll talk with exec eventually about perhaps creating a special aoir category, but right now you could use the public area and identify your material as conference related etc and be just fine. However, the relation between an eprints server and the person is an individual relationship, not a group one, which is a key point for me. Feel free to play with the cddc eprints server and see what its about. It still is in public beta, it will have one upgrade and then it will be open to all comers, currently i have to approve all submitters, but that will be distributed too eventually.
