[SOLVED] How to add files in forge?

I know how to add files in SVN, but how do I add files in "Download Section" in the Forge?
(logged in as a developer, not project admin)

It would be nice to "give back" some files to the community

We're following the scheme from gforge, which I'll admit is a big goofy.  Anyway, it goes like so:

1. Go into the admin tab for your project.
2. "Add File Package" -- I call mine Stable usually, but it can be whatever.  It just basically allows you to split out production releases from betas or language files, docs, etc.
3. Now you should have an "Add Release" link on your new package in the list.  Click it.
4. Give the release a name -- I usually use version number "1.0".  Again, it's up to you.
5. Now add your files, release notes, change log, etc for that release.  They will automatically be sent to S3 and .xml files should eventually make their way to Module Manager.

Hope that helps!

Thank you for your fast answering.

I may be blind some times, but I do not see any "Admin tab" in the project area for Dewplayer.
Is it available for developers or only for Project Admins?

Ah, yes, it's a project admin thing.  I've bumped up your access for the project, since it's basically yours at this point.
