Growing Onion

I usually grow brown onions which store well, however as we were running out I planted white ones as you can plant them earlier in the season. Now I have heaps of good sized white onions which have just started to run to seed, does anyone have good ideas on how to store them longer than a few weeks?

From what I have read white don't keep as long as brown. Cure them in the sun for a week or so then keep in a cool dry place spread out - probably best to give some away.
