Requirements

GUI description

We need a Big Fat Upload Button. In the upper left or upper right of every page.

Operation

The user clicks it.

Form

User enters things into a form, or at the very minimum, enters a page title and/or a file.stl

What Happens

The extension Autopopulates a new wiki page with the file, a new render, etc. And checks it into our Holdings system.

Software Requirements

Check the mediawiki, check mwusers,

Raw Notes

I am a little confused as to where to put all the kicad source files (schematic, net, stuff file, board files parts libraries etc) having had a rummage through the links, I was sort of expecting GIT or CVS or Source Forge or something.......

Likewise. The Library and the ... git? ... the Official Repository are currently siloed. Uploads to the mediawiki don't get entered into git, or vice versa. This doesn't matter to Adrian or to people who live and breath svn, git, etc., but it does present a massive barrier to entry to non-code-monkeys who want a Big Fat Upload Button


This needs to be replaced with a careful analysis of requirements, and I need to trawl the http://www.mwusers.com website and then prepare a careful query.
