I'm afraid I don't have the time to modify the plugin. But it's on GitHub, so you're free to change it as you wish:
https://github.com/mc-server/ProtectionAreas
I like the idea of providing a single source of Protection; however, there is also a Gallery plugin and I don't think it would be wise to somehow merge these two, they provide different kinds of Protection, quite incompatible.
I wanted the files to be stored somewhere else than the plugin, so that when the admin wants to upgrade to a newer version, they delete the plugin folder and replace it with new folder, but the files stay intact. But this reason is marginal, I'm not too much opposed to moving the files elsewhere if you provide strong-enough arguments. The folder-moving doesn't seem so convincing to me, because in time, we will probably support storing the stuff in MySQL DB or other, and then it won't be a simple folder-move anymore anyway, so why bother now.
