We currently have a number of directories that do not have an index.html 
file... eg lists/

The result is anyone specifying this (type of) directory as a 'url' is 
presented with a directory listing which may include files, other 
directories, etc... in some instances this exposed files that are no longer 
current...

---

A related policy/convention issues relates to the template element that 
displays the 'location' of a document... e.g.

Home >> lists >> ccn-webmaster 

In this example 'home' is a link, I have inserted 'lists' but this leads 
back to the problem noted above, i.e. exposing files or directories that 
may or may not contain 'secure' or outdated information...

Has there been any discussion about what is appropriate for this 
template element...?
