Hi<br>
<br>
For the record, I agree.<br>
<br>
As a file user (not sharer), i find it very unpractical not being
able to reach something on atoms or fileexchange just by typing the
name on google.<br>
<br>
Just an example:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.google.com/search?q=atoms+scilab+mingw&hl=en">http://www.google.com/search?q=atoms+scilab+mingw&hl=en</a> How
could this search not return
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/mingw/">http://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/mingw/</a> ?<br>
<br>
I actually spend part of my time showing my colleagues where to get
mingw for scilab. I would really prefer google to do it for me.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">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
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fileexchange.scilab.org/robots.txt">http://fileexchange.scilab.org/robots.txt</a>
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: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://atoms.scilab.org/robots.txt">http://atoms.scilab.org/robots.txt</a>
User-agent: *
Allow: /index.cgi
Disallow: /
whereas the bug
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10896">http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10896</a>
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
