Hello,

The sawfish window manager about which we are making wiki
( sawfish.wikia.com ) can be extended by short scripts written in
lisp language. Those scripts have .jl extension. We want to upload
those short scripts into wiki, so all users can share what they have
created. All of those scripts will be collected and organized on a
single website. I don't think that all scripts together will consume
even 1 MB of space.

The point is, that most convenient way is to upload them as a file,
not as a wiki page. This is because downloading a file is easier (you
just click it) than downloading a wiki webpage (you need to
copy/paste the content then save as a file on your hard disk).


To see an example you can see those pages:

1. file about a script - with download link

   http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Jump-or-exec

2. download the scripts as a wiki page (must copy/paste and save the file):

   http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Jump-or-exec.jl

3. download as a file (must remove the extension .mid):

   http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Media:Jump-or-exec.jl.mid


The problem is, that it is not possible to upload files with ".jl"
extension. As you can see on above example - I had to use a
"fake" .mid extension. I have a following message when I try to
upload .jl file:

    List of allowed file types: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, ico, ogg, pdf, xcf, svg, 
mid. 

Is it possible to modify the list of allowed file types?


And while we are at this: can you, please, also allow uploading 
*.tar.gz files? I'm sure that .tar.gz file will become very useful
once people who use sawfish will want to share their themes. It's
very easy to make a custom theme in sawfish (different window
decorations, etc). Of course with small filesize limit (like,
50 kb - the biggest sawfish theme I have here is just 34kb unpacked,
and contains several *.jl and *.png files), we certainly don't want
to be burden for wikia servers. 


Whew, sorry for that long explanations, to make long story short, can
you allow uploading *.jl and *.tar.gz (max filesize 50 kb) to
sawfish.wikia.com ? 

It will help a lot in sharing the work of our sawfish community.
