[Magdalen] Private-ish repository for vestry documents?

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

A wise and thoughtful warden!

It is really a good idea to keep draft copies offline.  Just keeps you one
step further from accidentally publishing what you would rather not publish.

An organization I belong to has every document we've done on a thumb drive,
in addition to a ton of pictures. There's tons of stuff in there I don't
even want to think about, and still lots of room.
