Please don't! Just add the link to Commons, which has a *far* superior
upload process, and people around who actually know what's going on.
With automatic account creation, users will have a much better
experience with this process than in the past, and the Commons community
is constantly trying to improve the experience of actually uploading
files on Commons -- but those improvements are on Commons, not xxwiki.

Really, sending them to Commons is a much better solution.
