Fileexchange & Atoms resources hidden to Open Search engines

[sgougeon at free.fr]

Hello,

Beeing a sharer on Scilab Filexchange, i was wondering 
about why resources uploaded there are not referenced
by Search engines like Google. The reason is that
http://fileexchange.scilab.org/robots.txt
is presently set to

User-agent: *
Allow: /index.cgi
Disallow: /

where / disallows all pages -- included the portal -- 
to be referenced, and where /index.cgi  does not exists
and returns a 404 error.

The situation is the same for the ATOMS's portal for external 
modules: http://atoms.scilab.org/robots.txt

User-agent: *
Allow: /index.cgi
Disallow: /

whereas the bug 
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10896
also prevents the Scilab ATOMS interface to propose many
available resources.

For my part, i do not see any interest in going on
uploading resources that i want to share if it is on
a site that hides them from Search engines robots.
These ones should be able to scan and refer to all 
pages of these resources.
Otherwise, it would be easy and more consistent to
upload resources elsewhere and just to set on fileexchange
a pointer to them.

Hoping to read other scilab users about that (since 
other potential users cannot be reached and polled ;)

Best regards
Samuel Gougeon
