In my view, the great side of GNU/Linux (and Free/Libre and Open Source Software in general) is that it allows a whole lot of people, often unknown to each other, to collaborate and work with one another... and build something beautiful.

Probably we need not be too "security" conscious...

Tools like the Wiki (based on the FLOSS idea of sharing knowledge, and collaborative functioning again) have shown their maturity in being able to deliver... FN

Well first thing, I am a total novice when it comes to web designing 
or web hosting. But still I have a doubt. How come other sites such as 
tldp allow users to upload file. here upload means i have a copy of 
the file, from the website i can browse and point to my document and 
it gets uploaded and a link is created in the documents section. Is 
that not possible to get done without security problem?

Thanks
