Hi Sridhar,

I agree allowing non-image uploads will lead to abuse
but .bz2 or .gz should be exemptions.

For MediaWiki, you need to edit the includes/DefaultSettings.php
and add bz2, gz to $wgFileExtensions so that it becomes
something like..

$wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'bz2', 'gz' );

Regards

Looks like there are constraints to uploading.
Seems to accept only file with image file extensions.

So, I *cheated* by adding a ".jpg" extension
and uploaded my file.

Can't this constraint be removed ?

Then do NOT use wiki for uploading files other than Images. Ask
bharathi to upload the file to chennailug and link to that file in
wiki.
