Magazine uploading! What and how to upload?

[Gryzor]

Hello guys!

So, after the upgrade, I've got Amstrad Computer User, AA and Amtix! lined up for uploading. What should I begin from, and in what form - zipped issues or separate pages?

I'll leave on saturday morning, so it'd be a good thing to leave my machine uploading for the three days beginning saturday...

Cheers

I can help by uploading my AAs, so you could do ACUs or something else..... 

trouble is, I'm still not sure how they should be uploaded.....

[Gryzor]

Ahhh thanks that'd be great. If you can, send me an email at gryzor @@@ gryzor ... info and I will give you an ftp account to upload to... and so I will up ACU and Amtix!. Nice

By the way, you can vote for up to 2 options - one for the mags, one for the way to be uploaded...

Cheers
Gryzor

I've said it in private mail already, but it's worth repeating: separate pages.

With separate pages you can cross-reference from elsewhere on the wiki. (So, for example, you could link directly to an AA review from a page about a game.) That, to me, is half the point of it.

.zip doesn't give any extra compression over and above .jpeg, and anyone who wants the whole lot in one can use a download manager.

You're right about that... Zipped issues wouldn't address a space-related issue, but rather ease of downloading. But I will try to find a good solution to allow easy downloading - and probably offer a DVD service for free (p&p applies, tho )

Hi guys!

I think the best optiom would be zipped issues with an index so you can download the issue with the article/review you want to get.

Thanks for working so hard to maintain this wonderful wiki!

Well, Uploading has already been started in individual files. I think I prefer it this way to prevent leeching. As I said, I will provide a DVD service as well...
