[tei-council] Uploading files to the WIKI

[Martin Holmes]

Hi all,

I'm working on my Prefix Definition Proposal on the wiki, and I've 
drafted a new section of the Guidelines that I wanted to include as part 
of the proposal. This is a regular TEI file, including a div which could 
be inserted into the SA chapter. It's obviously easier to write it 
directly in TEI, and then insert it into the chapter if and when it gets 
approval, than to draft it in a word-processor and then have to tag it 
up afterwards.

I wanted to upload this to the wiki so people could vet it, but when I 
tried to upload it as an XML file, the wiki said:

"This file contains HTML or script code that may be erroneously 
interpreted by a web browser."

So I tried zipping it up (as I've done before with a script file). This 
time, it said:

"Files of the MIME type "application/zip" are not allowed to be uploaded."

But the wiki upload page also says:

"Permitted file types: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, ogg, zip, xsl, xml, dtd, 
odd, rnc, rng, txt, pdf."

In other words, it's supposed to be able to accept both XML and zip 
files, but it won't. Someone or something must have changed the settings 
since I last uploaded a zip file last year, but not changed the text of 
the page which explains the limitations.

I think a TEI wiki that doesn't allow us to upload XML files is a bit 
ridiculous. Could we get this changed?

Cheers,
Martin
