I am trying to upload the whole of the git to the wiki but
currently I dont know why it is not uploadable to the wiki.. so I
would request others to try too

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.
