How does one publish a BIG multimedia file on sydney
                indymedia?
                At the moment, to do the following, you'll need to have
                access on stallman and know the administrators password to
                edit articles.For big files it is best to scp the file into
                stallman. drop the files into
                /www/sydney/local/webcast/uploads. Then you need to write a
                little story in the standard manner on the front page of
                indy-syd (http://sydney.indymedia.org/publish.php3) DON'T
                specify or include any files yet. Once this text article is
                published go to the "full story" link for that article and
                click on it. You've arrived at this full story page, scroll
                down and you'll see an edit field to the right. Enter the
                passwd, click enter. Scroll down until you've come to the
                multimedia stories section. It is here that you can link the
                file you uploaded (you remember the file name, don't you :)
                with the article you've posted. There's this really handy
                list of mime types for particular file extensions. It's just
                above the box you're looking to edit... or here's the link:                  
                http://sydney.indymedia.org/local/mimetypes.inc. Anyway...
                just type the part in ""'s after the "=" sign... phew.
                almost there. eg: if it's an mp3 $mimetypelist["mp3"] =
                "audio/mpeg"; so you'd type audio/mpeg Click the commit
                changes to article button. It may take a while. To see
                changes you may need to type: refresh.php3 and shift refresh
                if you want to clear the cache.
