File Management System

The last 'big' thing on my to do list is getting in place some sort of system for handling file uploads/downloads for patches, mods, utilities etc.... There are a few options here ranging from extremely simple to completely custom as mentioned briefly in the File Database Design. The simplest would just to use the Image: namespace in the Wiki although it may be too simple. While I don't intend to turn the site into a major file distributor I think there still needs to be a decent system in place for handling 1000s of files in some organized fashion. My main objective in the near future is to archive all significant Morrowind mods before the Morrowind sites start to disappear.

It will be mostly me implementing the system, whatever it is, but thoughts and comments from everyone are desired. -- DaveH 23:32, 12 August 2006 (EDT)

I think we could start by cleaning up that section using categories. The first major sections could be "File" and "Image", then we could further seperate it by game, etc. I've already started organizing everything by license. --Aristeo 06:15, 13 August 2006 (EDT)
