Task and writeup management
I want to add some comfortable way to publish writeups at CTFtime not only at teams blogs. Why?
- unfortunately, teams blogs do not live for long :( and when you need to see some events solution - writeup is not accessible any more.
- it helps to store data more structured, navigate on it and search
- CTFtime can be good place for newcommers to start studying reading writeups
If you have anything to say here - please do it.
Now writeup submission system far from ideal (no images, no attachments). Not sure how to make it usable.
Hi kyprizel,
Great idea.
One suggestion from my side: as many of writeups (include myself) live on GitHub pages - it would be perfect if there will be support for Markdown.
I see you are using wysihtml5 as rich text editor for writeups.
Maybe it's worth to consider some WYSIWYG with Markdown support, like this one:

You be interested in checking out the templates we use for our writeups, published at our github. I've been toying around with creating some sort of RFC on a standard format for publishing writeups for a while.
Not only most of writeups/blogs are deleted after a short while, the ctf websites also goes down. The challenge binaries posted in the task section are hence not accessible. Talk about loss of knowledge. A GitHub repo specifically for this would be very helpful indeed.
@techvoltage no but it's a GitHub repo like you requested it. It's up to the authors to contribute there.
@kyprizel , I suppose, that the best way to achieve reliable writeups access -- is to add upload/download functionality of pdf files. In that way any web page might be converted to pdf and pushed to ctftime itself. Ofc if it is convenient for you. For me personally, redirects are annoying and yes, sometimes links are broken.
Cheers
