Not in general.  I'd be willing to give a few people I know that  
access. That is probably the best short-term solution.

That would be nice.  It should be a dedicated server, to limit access  
to other facilities and key management is likely to be an issue.

The current situation is not ideal in a number of ways.

In the long run, I'd like to see something like PyPI or out classic  
products mechanism that provided greater control that the current  
system and was less cumbersome that PyPI or our products area.
