[Mediawiki-l] Images and Distributed Wiki

[peter hill]

Hi,

I'm creating an internal documentation wiki which will be hosted on a couple 
of hosts. Database replication will ensure that documentation gets 
syncronized across the different systems, but there doesn't appear to be a 
common solution to distribute the uploaded images/files. At least that is my 
impression from reading through the FAQs and documentation that I have been 
able to find. Is there a tool or common solution for this? Is it an option 
to store this data within the database as blobs?

Because of our architecture I will be unable to host these directories on 
NFS. I've considered putting together a simple rsync/shell script but will 
have to rely on ctime/mtime for conflicts. I don't mind having to write code 
to do this, but didn't want to recreate the wheel if an existing solution is 
out there.

Thanks!
