Hi,
I wanted to upload a script and a tar file to the wiki, but I see it is blocked to only certain media types..
Will it be possible to upload these types to the wiki as wekk, or is there another place I can use to store these files, and link to them from the wiki?
We can possibly add other file types.
Is there any risk to allowing archive file formats and script file formats to be uploaded to the wiki?
I don't know enough about MediaWiki to say.
I'd make the rule that script files should either be changed to <filename.ext>.txt and uploaded that way or have the contents pasted in a wiki page directly as a <code></code> block.
I like this for a few reasons. One is there is an associated Talk: page for meta-comments, and information about the script can be put in the wiki page. Also, scripts should be put in various categories e.g. [[Category:Python scripts]], [[Category:Node tools]], etc.
As for tar.gz files, I don't know of a reason to block that.
With Jason's check and +1, I think this sounds like we should add support for archives - I'll put in a range to cover gzip, bzip, zip, and tar file extensions. - - Karsten - -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Architect team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFPcO9J2ZIOBq0ODEERAvvAAJ4i25IpiGVRMYD09oMcY49mJ66AdACgjQdA SYjSyW3L1r4KNEgdcfgZGQg= =R0r/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
