Hi all, After Victor's commit of so many files to our press-media repository, I think we should establish some binding rules for it:
* There is no need to have a single file in X different formats in the
repository. Let's only keep it there in the best format. In particular,
that means:
Vector formats > Dynamic raster formats > Static raster formats
E.g.: AI/SVG > PSD/TIFF > PNG
The only exception to the rule can be made if one of the better formats
is highly proprietary (like AI). In that case, an additional SVG file or
(as a last resort) high-resolution PNG file may accompany it.
I don't consider PSD proprietary anymore, because almost every
Open-Source and Closed-Source graphics tool can work with them.
Totally uncompressed formats (like BMP) have no reason to stay in the
repository at all when better compressed formats (like PNG) are available.
I would make the only exception to e.g. the BIOS logo for the MiniPC,
because this one needs to be a BMP with special settings for technical
reasons.
* Only directly ReactOS-related media whose copyright is clarified
should go there. Third-party graphics can pose a serious legal trouble.
Additionally, Stock graphics can be found on many platforms. There is no
need to let press-media become a repository for this.
As long as there are no objections or additions, I would like Victor to
remove some redundant files according to these rules.
Cheers,
Colin
