This looks interesting. Does Appropedia have a need for admins to add more flie types than others can? --Lonny 14:44, 28 March 2012 (PDT)

Do we have a list of permitted file types somewhere?
If there's a file type that we think is risky, but might sometimes be suitable to have uploaded here, this hack could be useful. --Chriswaterguy 21:03, 29 March 2012 (PDT)
At Special:Upload it lists: Permitted file types: svg, png, jpg, jpeg, gif, ogg, doc, xls, xlsx, ppt, mp3, pdf, swf, flv, odt, ods, odp, odg, odb. There may be more, but I think that is all for right now. --Lonny 14:10, 1 April 2012 (PDT)
