Thanks.

I will put them in a directory somewhere.

photos ? What do you mean ?

They should be merged in the CVS. If not, it was because of a problem. Do not 
put them on the wiki again. I will save them somewhere.

No, they should be on savannah.

No. We should do new screenshots.

The maps.

This is a step backward reagarding the anonymous ftp. The problem is that we 
can't use the anonymous ftp for the new web site because of the epfl 
firewall. But it should be possible to have a custom http/php upload 
mechanism and then use the old listing scripts for displaying a specific 
directory.

Ok, where are they ?

I think that if we can resurect the miniature auto-creation feature for images 
and maps it would reduce the trouble a lot. I suggest we investigate the way 
we could do it. In the mean time, when I have some time, I will copy the old 
datas to a directory in the new server.
