Does this imply the intent for native Attach to work at some point?

Is the %1 to indicate a variable or should I replace it with a hard-
coded the farm name? (I couldn't find a reference to variables in the 
InterMap docs.)

I have working:

    FarmAttach:    /url/to/farm/uploads/farmname/

One problem with this is that it breaks the flash.php recipe that I 
am/was using - and, presumably, other similar recipes.

I'm not sure of the best direction to take here. I would prefer to have 
everything in a farm wiki in its file structure, but moving items to the 
home wiki means that uploaded files can be accessed. Perhaps it might be 
better for me to hack the upload code to always place files in the home 
wiki (in the case of farm uploads), but then there is the risk of a 
group name clash between wikis.

Any recommendations, please?
