Personally I think it would be nicer if you could associate source files with the final files. Something like: *User uploads jpeg of 3D image (or whatever) *on the image description page for the jpg, there is an upload "source" file link *Users (who have appropriate permissions) can upload the associated source files with this link. *These source files might appear as a subpage of the primary image/document/media, or they might just appear in list form at the bottom of the image description page of the main image/media. Either way, the source files would be associated with a single "main" file. Doing it this way would limit the feature to source files of actually uploaded files (so less random cruft lying around, no orphaned source files, less chance of people abusing the feature to get around file type restrictions). I also personally don't like the idea of uploading archives. Instead I think it would be better just to upload all the source files needed. (although that might fall apart if you're uploading source files for something very complex which has many source files in a specific directory structure). There could also be a download all option where all the source files get tar'ed together on the server side for an easy download. -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
