Re: What would you like to see available as a tool/resource online for teams?
Something like this may already exist but maybe a FIRST orientated CMS for lists of files. On kickoff this year 2502 uploaded every .pdf on the FIRST website pertaining to KOP, rules, field etc but we just did it in a standard index.html generated by apache which made it a bit confusing.

Something with a search function and tags would be convenient as well as a "submit file" feature where admins would approve and upload, though something like this may already exist. If so I would be glad to know what is out there already. Last kickoff using a hackjob directory we created after usfirst.org crashed managed to save FIRST's servers 30GB of load and 30,000 pageviews and provide 1200 copies of the KOP checklist to other teams. My goal for this year is to have the community use at least 100GB of our bandwidth in hopes that everyone will be able to get the documents they need on kickoff.
