Before this discussion goes any further, let me make one thing perfectly clear...
I will not post anything to my website that cannot be covered by an Open Gaming Licence. That means, including the SRD (Core Rulebooks), I am comfortable posting anything that is Open Gaming Content, or original Living Enworld work.
There is absolutely no way that you can make any information selectively available. That is to say, no matter how many passwords we put on a website, there is no guarantee that someone won't let that password slip to someone who shouldn't have it. (Sorry, guys, I don't know any of you well enough to trust you that much, and there are far too many posters involved in Enworld to keep any such thing a complete secret for long.) Sooner or later, non-OGL stuff posted on the web will get us into some sort of trouble, and we'll have to remove it anyway. It's happened many times before. I'd rather avoid that altogether.
Look around at your books... There is a surprising amount of OGC out there. I just took a look at my Skull & Bones book, because there is an awful lot of good swashbuckling feats and PrCs in there. The cover page essentially says something like, "Everything in this book is Open Game Content except for Chapter 13, and any Legends of Piracy sidebar." Practically the entire book is OGC. Once we get organized, I plan on proposing quite a few feats and classes from that book.
