Size limit for the list archives?

[Andrew Parsloe]

I wish to add some material to the Wiki. Ideally it would go in the 
upload repository, but that seems to be permanently deceased now. The 
next best place available to me seems to be the users' list archives. By 
attaching material to a posting to the list I can make a link to the 
archive. From previous experience, there is (understandably) a size 
limit to this and if the posting+attachment is too big it doesn't get 
archived. Does anyone know what the size limit is? 50 KB? 100 KB?

Not deceased, but likely ill again. I suggest that you wait a day or
too until Richard or JMarc restore our server.

Whatever the limit is, public mailing lists shouldn't be used for
storing large files. If you're looking for a temporary solution then a
Dropbox, SpiderOak or tinyupload.com workaround would do just fine.
But best would be to simply wait for the lyx.org server to be restored
and then put your info on the wiki.
