s/Move/Copy/ would make this work better for folks who do use it
regularly from its current location.

Do you have numbers to support the claim of "many" here?  ;-)

Better documentation would go a long way to fixing this problem rather
than reorganizing the site.  The proposed retooling of the front project
pages on f-marketing-l is a major step toward that goal.  Maybe a
boilerplate README in the ISO folder would also be helpful, since I
would think new users haven't yet become cynical about the file name
"README." :-)
