Yes, this is to me a fascinating disscussion not just about words but about
ideals versus pragmatism. Thank you. Let's recapitulate on file types to *send*
ourselves:
Ideal? Pragmatic? Compromise?
ODT DOC RTF (if no fancy formatting)
HTML (a very good exchange format for some people and
tasks)
PDF (if no major editting required)
Notes: None of us need ever to send OOXML.
TXT is not a good idea because then the question of character set
arises.
OpenOffice3 can do a hybrid format: PDF with embedded ODT.
Ideal? Pragmatic? Compromise?
OGG Vorbis MP3 ?
FLAC WAV ?
OGG Theora MP4 FLV, MPEG1, MPEG2
Notes: Actually more complicated as different container and encoder foramts.
I find that *only* MPEG1 will play on just about any computer and
device.
Of course it depends on the person you are sending the file to, his or her
environment, and your aim. Is the person computer-literate? Is it a large
company? Is it a government office in a country required to accept your ODTs?
Do
you want to "educate" or cause the least bother?
Cheers, Theo
