Hmm. I'd have thought that "main" would be a reasonably close shorthand
for "the TEI consortium official website (managed at virginia under
opencms)," especially in the context of a contrast with the svn server
(aka "the sourceforge repository (managed by svn)") and when further
described later in the sentence as "TEI-C". But perhaps I underestimated
the difficulties of following the discussion.

The folder is there because I was asked to get one put on "the TEI
consortium official website (managed at virginia under opencms)" when we
were in Galway in response to complaints that Council had no place to
put documents on "the TEI consortium official website (managed at
virginia under opencms)." 

In general, it was felt that "the TEI consortium official website
(managed at virginia under opencms)" was not as responsive as it could
be to the needs of Council and I was asked to start doing something
about it, which I did. However, as the current point under discussion
suggests, it may be wiser to not use such space on "the TEI consortium
official website (managed at virginia under opencms)" after all: perhaps
it is better to store such working material at "the sourceforge
repository (managed by svn)" using a directory structure similar to that
proposed by David.
