Thank you very much for the files.

I don't get the reason of putting all the files as a .zip file. This is a repo and it seems better to get the code on the github website. As a zip file, I have to download it and extract it on my local computer. I prefer it be already human readable, "navigateable" code on the repo/website, not a zip file. You can also put versioning in different folders.

Please conisder it changing as code file (raw file) instead of a zompressed zip file.

Hi,

We debated back on forth on what is the best format for these files. The reason why they are zip files is that they are meant for you to download them to your local computer. These are sample gadgets that need to be modified in order to be used. After modification, these files need to be uploaded to a webserver in order to be used. Also, these files are rarely changed after they are released so there is really no need to see commit history.

DevNet get these gadget files as a zip and are just keeping them in the format that they are given.

Thanx, Denise

Thank you for your kind response, I understand your comment but there is no reason to do what I suggested and your ideas together. There can be both file formats as well.
