Hi esteemed Admins!

I assume you've noticed that I've started some heavy addition of pages for some pages to the Wiki, based off the root [wiki]JohnBurger:Demo[/wiki].

As part of the pages, I'd like to add a (~80 kiB) .ZIP file of all of the source code - and for ease of access for users it will contain two binary files too:
* Demo.bin (4.5 kiB), the assembled binary of the source code; and
* Demo.iso (46 kiB), that binary with ISO stuff appended to make it bootable.

I recognise that .ZIP files are dangerous containers of potentially horrible stuff, so I'm not surprised that the auto-uploader will only permit images. Is it possible, however, for me to send the .ZIP to yourselves offline for you to add in to [wiki]JohnBurger:Demo/Overview#Introduction[/wiki]? You have my e-mail address...

With thanks for your consideration,

John Burger

I think using a github (or some other free storage space) for this sort of things would be a better idea.

The problem with uploading ZIP files is that it sets a precedent for others, and even if we do upload it manually, we have no way of maintaining it in sync with whatever the wiki pages say.

I agree with Combuster, using github will also help users to view the code online instead of downloading it. Most people don't really use the whole code but instead they tend to use some small snippets, they wouldn't want to download the whole archive in that case.
