here is a nice home for that: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/tutorials here is how to get access to the addons SVN: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/HowToContribute > but others probably do not have such possibility. and on > other side.. > it would be nice to have everything in one place :) some nice things about hosting in the svn addons repo is that a) after some years private websites often go away and the code is lost; b) from the beginning all code there is GPL-compatible, so all can use it without worry; c) wide backups + automatically-parallel repo migration > anyway, if you decide to not allow gz/zip files, then i > would like to notice that upload wiki pages claim the opposite > in case of .tar.gz :) I don't follow. does the wiki now say it is ok? (link please, or as it is a wiki, feel free to go ahead and fix it yourself) or do you mean we should add something to make that clearer?

I guess the root question is where to draw the line between the user's MediaWiki help pages+images, the devel TracWiki text pages, the addons SVN, and a future Drupal main website. you probably don't want the wiki to be your main website, and you don't want your main website to be a file repository, and etc etc etc. shrug. anyway that's just rambling. are you happy with the idea of hosting the files in the addons tutorial/ dir, with a "homepage" for the tutorial in the MediaWiki which links to that?
