Correct.  And that is strange... but if you type in
www.europython.org/2002/manage (or leave the manage away), you will get
them....

It is not for the old sites.... it is for the 'front' epc2002 and
epc2003 pages in the plone site.
I've let them use the image root-folder, since they:

- are the same for all conferences (ie if chalmers sponsors next year
again, the image is the same)
- can be use by all folders
- only use space once.

I don't see the point of doubling,trippling these images... and putting
such a folder in every epc plone folder.
Why does 1 folder in the root clutters the root folder?
If you don't want to have it in the root, then place it in the plone
root folder.

I changed this technique for the old instances. ie they now both have
their own image folder, which was never the case before, but it makes it
more easy if somebody wanted to remove them, but I still benefit of
having one folder of shared images for all conferences)
