I do outreach projects, where I need to print things on paper, and they need to look (somewhat) pretty. I'm not in the business of developing entirely new wordprocessing or typesetting software. When I take photos, I use a commercially available camera. It's not realistic for me to take five years off to develop my own camera. Both tools, OpenOffice and my Canon camera, deliver editable source files in open formats. Wikimedia Commons accepts the JPEG photos, but not the Open Document files. I'm continuing my work, and I will upload PDF files to Wikimedia Commons, but I will keep the editable source files (ODT) offline. Wikimedia Commons is already full of posters and brochures in PDF, where the editable source files are unavailable. That is sad. -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
