It looks like it is not possible to upload maps with add-ons. I think no one will use the world add-ons, if you have to create your own completely new map first.

People are encouraged to package add-on-requiring maps as Map Set add-ons because this offers much better dependency handling for the users.

Make sense. I wait until I have more maps and post them at once.

I don't think this makes sense. Some people are not very active but creating maps from time to time. Forcing them to create map-sets is a no-go, imho. This will lead into several (possible) good maps which are lying at a users home without ever being published. Ok, map sets can also contain only one map

Well in 1.1 it will be possible for users to package their map as an add-on and directly upload it, all within Widelands, with a few clicks. That's easier than expecting them to figure out where their homedir is and how to compress their uncompressed map files without messing up the file extensions, imho

for the moment being we still have the possibility to upload maps on the homepage which might be the choice if no addon is requiored for the map. Else a mapset can be started with one map and be enriched with adding maps from time to time so I see no problem really.

It's not the file extensions I don't understand. But how can I create zip-s where the files are in

Just for info the addons-packager works quite well for map sets. I created the tournament map set with it.
