Attachments missing in new wiki

[Qian Hong]

Hi folks,

Thanks for migrating the wiki to new site. Recently two different
people ask me about attachments on
https://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2015, and I found they are missing,
anyone knows what happen during the migration? Should we manually
upload again? Is there backup for the attachments from old side?

Thanks!

I'm wondering the same. The high resolution group picture is not there
anymore?

Cheers,
Aaryaman

The old wiki is here: http://oldwiki.winehq.org/WineConf2015

It seems there are some pages need to be copied to the new one.

The new wiki only allows uploading of files with png, gif, jpg, or jpeg extensions. There's also a 2MB limit on file size. That's not something that can be changed in the admin interface; Jeremy Newman would have to do that. IMO, since editing is now locked down to "Trustworthy" users, it should be safe to allow other types of files (at least PDF) to be uploaded.

For now you can link to the files on the old wiki, but since the old wiki might go away at some point, that's not a long term solution.

One other possibility we discussed on a talk page was giving files like 
conference pictures a permanent home on the FTP server, then linking the 
wiki to them there. We can eventually base a decision on what Jeremy 
thinks is best, but I'm with Rosanne that we should at least lift the 
restriction on PDF files.

At the risk of hijacking this thread, I did come up with a few questions 
while trying to update the SourceCode page. If I could get them cleared 
up, I can make the necessary changes to the wiki. Essentially, I'm not 
sure whether the new wiki has any custom code that will wind up in git, 
if there are any plans for the stagnant files on Sourceforge, and if/how 
we should document Dan Kegel's winezeug repo. I won't clutter up this 
email with the details, but I wrote them up here:

Jeremy Newman has added pdf, odp, doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx to the list of filetypes allowed to be uploaded to the new wiki.
