Mime types
Hi Eric, please tell me here why you believe that this might work? Imo MediaWiki recognises them as application/zip. Regards, --Flominator 09:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I may misunderstand how the mime.types file is used. On the one hand it's a list of extensions which are allowed for a given MIME type; but since it says "vice versa," it's also used to map extensions to MIME types.
 * In the least it's somewhat ambiguous, but it seemed to be better to specify the more specific MIME type rather than allow the "kludge" of ODF documents being identified as application/zip.  --Eric Myers 15:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I think we should go and bug the devs :). I'll email Raymond --Flominator 16:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea, but I do think my orignal reading and change was wrong. I think the interpretation is that "if you think it's application/zip then these extensions are valid".   So my bad.  But it is confusing. --Eric Myers 18:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
