I think there is a file size limit on the wiki, someone said, I don't know what size. So it might be a bit tricky to upload the entire thing!
Also Helen, how did you dig up those links let me know, where do they exactly lie.. Thanks a lot I might just end up creating a top level Wiki Category
I just clicked the links in http://en.opensuse.org/Category:Marketing_images the thumbnails are broken but the original files are there.
Well, then I gave the same link.. in my previous mail
Its 4 MB per file so it wont matter a lot
So we have a gitorious which doesn't allow you to download many individual files (works for some, not for others - size is an issue) and a wiki which doesn't work with many fileformats and the larger files. In short, still no good place to put our files :( That webdav plugin for git I heard about seems more and more interesting, at leat, webdav works these days in nautilus too, right? So Dolphin and Nautilus would both be able to open a webdav:// link and people could see and download our files from there, and if they have a login copy-paste or drag and drop files in too?!? I found some info here: http://www.jedi.be/blog/2009/05/06/8-ways-to- share-your-git-repository/ But it seems for webdav (search) you need to run your own server so our gitorious account won't be helpful. I think SUSE is paying for that account, maybe something can be done for us... I CC'ed darix because he usually knows most about that kind of stuff :D Darix, do you have any suggestions for the marketing team - how can we share our files (presentations up to 20-30 mb, sources & huge png & pdf's, you know the drill already) in a way that is: - easy for us (artists don't use command line tools) - easy for those who need it (we should either be able to make a link in the wiki or have an easy to search/categorized repository via a webinterface) Git and the wiki just don't work for us...
I checked with JDD that he'd tried the download master tarball and now he has and that is working for him.
