Wikipedia zero should not host official documents on dropbox
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The official link on wikipedia zero for partner information and partner spec form is https://www.dropbox.com/s/ngmq4e899p1b83s/WikipediaZeroPartnerOverview-1-2-5.pdf and https://www.dropbox.com/s/iasea1atj6epqpb/Wikipedia_Zero_Partner_Specs_Form_v5a.xls respectively (linked from https://zero.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AZeroPortal&zppage=technical&zproute=dashboard aka https://zero.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:DashboardTechnical-1 ). I don't know if we have any policies on this, but in my opinion it is inappropriate to host such official documents offsite. The files should probably live on https://wikimediafoundation.org

Event Timeline

Yes, if these file types are possible.

Bawolff claimed this task.

Done. They are now at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/File:WikipediaZeroPartnerOverview-1-2-5.pdf and https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Zero_Partner_Specs_Form_v5a.xls (zero.wikimedia.org links directly to the file and not to the description page).

I don't know what the copyright status of those files are. If they are under some sort of free license, it would be great to add that to the file description page at foundationwiki.
