Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is not possible to download a collective from a public share and there seems to be no option to enable this(?). Even when logged in, in the left side bar:

  • click three-dot-menu beside the collectives name (main-page/landing-page)
  • click Download
    will only download the landing-page as "Readme.md".

Export will directly convert the collective to a (fairly ugly formatted :p) PDF.

Describe the solution you'd like
In both, logged-in and public shares, give an option to download the raw markdown files, e.g. the collectives folder from the files.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • For public shares maybe let the "sharer" opt-in, or opt-out of this possibility.
  • If Download on the landing-page is clicked, ask, whether to download the Readme.md, or the whole collective.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified in the issue. Start by tracing the Download action from a public-share landing page and compare it with the logged-in collective flow. Clarify the intended permission or opt-in behavior, then verify that the completed behavior supports downloading the raw collective files while preserving the existing Readme.md and PDF options.
