Okay, so everyone here probably knows about cloud storage. If you don't: Cloud Storage lets you upload files to some kind of online storage - consider it an online hard drive - and also let's you, or anyone who you are giving access to it download those files. You could even make your friends upload their own!
Alright, back to the topic. Within the past years we had quite some great contributions from various of our community members, but alot of links unfortunately tend to die, or simply expire, which is sad. No contribution should be getting lost. So my idea was, that we would have an own Otland Cloud, where anyone from Otland can download the contributed files. This guarantees long time availability of your contributed works is even easier to navigate as we would keep a clear structure in the cloud, seperating Distributions, Datapacks, Resources/Talkactions/Actions.... as we already do on the forums. Of course, to prevent fraud or other kinds of exploit (e.g. modifying or deleting files) not everyone, but rather a small trusted party should be the only people who are allowed to upload files to the cloud or modify (edit/delete) them. If someone was to contribute something he would simply create a thread on the forums in the appropriate contribution section and post his contribution there with a download link. The job from the trusted team of the Otland Cloud would be to scan these files and, if they are safe, upload them to the Otland Cloud in the appropriate location. From that time on, anyone on Otland can simply access the Otland Cloud to get the file once the previous upload link dies. Of course we would also try to get as many contributions as possible in the cloud, thus we would also be checking on old contributions and uploading them to the cloud, given they still are available.
I'm curious if you guys are interested in this and if there are any (trusted/known) volunteers who would be willing to help managing this project
Kind regards,
Damon
