It appears from the Order that the electronic filing of documents in the Pennsylvania appellate courts is currently permissive and not mandated.  The Order indicates that, after a trial period, there may be an amendment to the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure for more specific procedures with respect to these types of filings.
