Please add .txt as allowed extension to the wiki

Hi,

can someone please add .txt as allowed file name extension to the wiki
settings?
This is very valuable for uploading boot logs.

Thanks!

Regards,

Allowing txt files may be a good idea, but please don't use it for boot
logs in the wiki, I'd rather link to boot logs from the mailing list.

Would not be it beneficial if you could also use the advantages of
versioning control for boot log files?

1. Easy to be up-to-date and manageable. (svn up instead of opening a
browser, looking for the address, downloading the attachment, saving it
and renaming it)
2. Have an history about what changed in which revision or what change
had what effect.

Thanks,

Paul

I also noticed *.bmp image files are not allowed. Any reason?

BMP is usually uncompressed and on average 10 times larger than PNG.
