Use case: extensions need to add to template and public search paths if they wish to have templates or extra static files (such as js etc).

Allowing plugins to edit the config dictionary on load would allow this (and more!).

Are there any security considerations here? (Is is bad to allow extensions to make arbitrary changes to the config information?)

Support uploading files to a storage system from WUI with a simple upload form.

Implementation

• Implement as an Extension
• Locate at /upload
• Add new system action/permission (FILE_UPLOAD) and restrict by default to logged in users
• Use OFS + boto -> generate form key (and create the bucket if it doesn't exist? Or do we assume bucket already exists)
• This wants to be tied in to general package workflow. See parent ticket:852.

Create/edit a package -> add a resource -> Oh, i haven't uploaded yet, 'upload here' -> /upload -> standard upload form

Do we need to create a resource out of the file after upload? Do we sync file metadata with local Resource metadata?

If yes suggests (need to ticket):

• 'ResourceExtras?' for extra metadata on resources
• Makes 'Resource' into first class object (and make available in WUI)?

Depends

• #877 (Upload in WUI) - should be part of that extension
