Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I've setup a COD (conference organization distro) for a yearly environmental conference that works quite well in general. Unfortunately, the group I made this site for is transitioning from a simple HTML site with most changes being uploaded as pdfs via ftp. Traditionally they do most of their changes and communications via documents and files. Instead of providing ftp access, what modules or setups provide a good, safe and clean UI for Files and Documents Organization?

Thanks...
