That makes sense... Let's put that on our list.

I think the sort of forum they use for the BluePages would do the  
trick, as you can limit those who join; items for discussion are put  
into the posts, not uploaded separately.

Or a Yahoogroup, where you can upload files.

Both types do need to be monitored for unauthorized access, though  
I've had good success with the Cragmere yahoogroup by requiring human  
interaction before permitting any posts (that is, if you want to join,  
just sending a request isn't good enough; you also have to prove  
you're human and that you really ought to be there... which is easy if  
you respond to the mod's email!).

(Cragmere's group has -2- moderators in addition to the owner; the  
owner has moved away, so we are fortunate to have anticipated the  
need. The mod can do -almost- anything the owner would.)
