Hm... The lispbox project handle is already taken by the Lisp In A Box
project...

One possibility is just to open a project for it. This way you have
ftp and webspace for a page, and if you ever wanted to make it more of
a /project/, all would be set up. We can disable the mailing lists for
the moment, if you want. I can set up something simpler too, just an
ftp directory and webspace, for instance. However you wish.

BTW, if you are only looking for temporary hosting (as I understood
from your message at c.l.l.), then that is perfectly alright too.

Regards,
        Mario.
