ccHost (the site platform) will accept or reject files based on their 
extension and, depending on the filetype, will attempt to verify the 
ones it does allow.

Looks as though in the next OFLB site version we'll have to ask people 
to upload individual files. We'd certainly need to unpack archives if we 
allowed them, and ccHost currently cannot see inside tarballs, facts 
that together mean we're best avoiding them.

That's in direct opposition to Nicolas' suggestion, I'm afraid. And I 
speak as an enthusiast of archive-uploading.

The FONTLOG will be stored as metadata associated with the typeface. 
Also due to the way cccHost stores uploads. README is anything the user 
puts in the description, for now. License is metadata (and can/should of 
course be stuck into TTF fonts and their friends).

Cheers,
Ben
