[FM Discuss] can i upload .csd files?

[adam]

i think for now its best to host somewhere else...

the main reason being that we want to change to booki soon and this will
be another issue we have to deal with which i would rather not at the
moment...

when we have landed in booki we can revisit...

that ok?
