for some kind of works (storing openoffice slides...), we need a ftp repository for opensuse stuff _not for SUSE Linux_, but openSUSE. I don't think we can afford to open the upload to server command, it's far too risky. so we should find a way; For example a page on the wiki for "data proposal", or an e-mail address (ftp@opensuse.org???) where we could propose our data this is not so an easy thing as this could also be usefull for various wiki stuff, so it could need a validating staff... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

How about using the wiki upload mechanism? We already used it to store our FOSDEM slides.

Please don't misuse mails for sending data over the internet, this is not what it's supposed to do ;)

Hahaha! Have you ever tried this? I once tried to upload my openSUSE LaTeX slide style files upon Adrian's suggestion. The wiki refused them because they are not images. My question how this is supposed to be done if only images are accepted produced just silence. Thus I decided to put them to http://pi3.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/~schiele/opensuseslides/ instead.

Well, provide an alternative! I mean _I_ have webspace available but not everybody has. Robert -- Robert Schiele Tel.: +49-621-181-2214 Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@uni-mannheim.de "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur."

I'v successfully uploaded PDFs, but uploading files with some strange extensions (.sty for example) failed. But how often do you need to upload stuff other than images or PDFs?

As long as we are only talking about documents (i.e. PDFs), the wiki is perfectly fine IMHO. If there is other stuff that needs to be stored in a central place, let me know and we will figure a way to get this working. Regards Christoph

Please read the mails you are answering to. jdd originally was talking about _OpenOffice_ slides. Does the wiki accept them? If not it does not make real sense to advertise a mechanism for something it does not work for.

The answer is to upload your OpenOffice slides as PDFs ;) In addion to that we could of course add the typical OpenOffice file extensions to the list of filestype that the wikis allows. Regards Christoph

right now I think of two kind of products. * Documents/applications for presenting opensuse on conferences. pdf are _not_ really applicable, we need more attractive things. * packages (tgz) for a course. In my admin course I need sometimes stuff difficult to find on the net (or that may no be found at the time the user need it). I use to store it on my own server, but this is not really openSUSE friendly (I think that all the openSUSE stuff should be on an ipensSUSE repository) - examples are scripts done specially for the course and too long to be given as <pre>. this will probably not be so frequent, that is why a mail to ftp@opensuse.org whould be nice. not for sending the file, obviously, I'm not dumb, but to ask somebody to upload it from any given source. the problem is, how do we trust the file? Of course we can trust each other in a small group as we are now, but there are thousen of openSUSE members now and the system should afford that. I don't ask only for me personnaly, but as a policy :-) and uloading to the wiki is definitively _not_ a solution :-() thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

How about using forge.novell.com then? We could either create a special project for storing openSUSE related "files" or have those who need special storage create forge projects for those? Would that work out? Regards Christoph
