 ====== DokuWiki and GoogleEarth-formatted files ======
-**Problem described below - upload of kml and kmz files to this wiki - has been solved. kml and kmz files may be uploaded as they are. The workaround described below is no longer necessary.
-**
 Many of the data sets offered here are in so-called **kml** format, which is the format required for ingestion in GoogleEarth. Files of this format have names like //filename.kml//. GoogleEarth also recognizes files named like //filename.kmz//, which identifies a kml file that has been packed using the zip facility. Data files ready for viewing in GoogleEarth will thus be recognizable by either the //.kml// or //.kmz// extensions.

+**Problem described below - inability to upload kml and kmz files to this wiki - has been solved. kml and kmz files may now be uploaded as they are. The workaround for upload and download described below is no longer necessary.

 **NB!** The DokuWiki engine used for this wiki does not allow upload of just any file. Specifically, in its default installation, DokuWiki does not accept .kml or .kmz files, which we use to display data in GoogleEarth. However, it will accept .zip files.
