Yes, uploads are writable, but unlike wiki.d/ and temp/ the files in
uploads/ need to be directly available to the webserver. And we also
probably don't want "writable" to be appearing in the upload urls, as in
.../pmwiki/writable/uploads/Group/somefile.zip
I'm personally fine with that, although I'd probably add a redirect
directive to .htaccess. However, if you do uploads/downloads etc via
pmwiki.php, don't we already have a complicated address?
But the truth is that there's no one dimension that can neatly cover
everything.
I reorganized things along two dimensions: private/public v.s. ro/rw.
scripts/ farm private read-only core
wikilib.d/ farm [1] read-only core
local/ field private read-only local
cookbook/ [2] private read-only local
farmconfig.php farm private read-only local
wiki.d/ field private read-write local
temp.d/ field private read-write local
files/ field? private? read-write ?
pub/guiedit farm public read-only core
pmwiki.php farm public read-only core
pub/css field public read-only local
pub/skins [2] public read-only local
uploads/ field public read-write local
pub/cache/ field? public read-write ?
[1] It doesn't matter if wikilib.d/ is public or private.
[2] Skins and cookbook recipes can be per-field or farm-wide.
Anything listed "public" needs to have a reasonable url and an easy way
for PmWiki to figure out the correct url or for an administrator to set
it. (In general this is quite difficult already)
I added cache/ above. I don't think it has to have a reasonable URI.
I also added files/ which is used by a 'notify' script I've written for
monitoring changes to uploaded files. I don't know if there should be a
separate area where recipes can store persistent data.
Similarly, I could imagine a skin that allows users to modify the CSS
files. So maybe they would require to be stored in a public and read-write
area.
