GIFs!?? As far as I know, GIF is proprietary format whose use requires
license from UNI$Y$. As a group promoting open-source and free software (I
think we are that, aren't we:-), we should not use it. PNG is a free
replacement of GIF. Does anybody know if all the popular (both broken and
less broken ;-) browsers support it?
