Where's the `reports.inc' file mentioned in reports.php3?

I think that the danger which Peter mentioned of people
thinking work has stopped simply because we stop posting
the minutes of our meetings on the web is a quite real one.
The reports section should have an intro which makes it clear
that this is experimental, might be irregular, might or might not
continue, etc.

Also there's a definite possibility that people looking for Tech
Reports will look in the reports section rather than the papers
section.  Perhaps it should be titled "informal reports"?  Any other
suggestions for a better title?
