List of Files page in Drupal

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I'm working on relaunching a website in Drupal and want to get some feedback on the best way to handle something. The existing site has a Newsletters page listing PDFs of all newsletters we've sent out over the years (http://www.carolinaspiritquest.org/newsletters.html). What's the best way to handle this in Drupal? I'm thinking of using the File Node module and creating a content type for the newsletters, then using a View to pull them all into a page.

Does that make sense? Is there a better way to handle this?

Thanks!

Filenode SUCKS, CCK ROCKS

Tried to set things up using the Filenode module. No good way to get at the file data in Views. Ugh.

Redid it using a FileField CCK added to a new custom content type. That works out quite well with a bit of tweaking in the style sheet.
