Hello, fd.o! My first post here. I'm a developer working on an OpenRaster[0]-aware painting program [1], but I've become hampered recently by the loss of the CREATE project[2]'s wiki, which is where the working human-readable specification for OpenRaster was kept[3] until recently. I'm seeking to work on and extend the OpenRaster format in a couple of ways, but also to make the text of it publicly available to other developers for editing and improvement, and that's not possible with WayBack machine copies and a private SQL dump of the previous wiki's blurb!
OpenRaster already exists as a FreeDesktop project, at least in the bug tracker[4] and has much running code and schemas[5] for the format's primary layers.xml file, plus support from two of the major graphics programs out there. However it has very little in the way of good, editable, public documentation and I'd like to change that, if I may. It seems to me that the right place to move the specification is somewhere under http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications - would that be acceptable? I think OpenRaster meets the fd.o Mission Statement quite nicely. I'm new to fd.o, but given that all we need right now is a small amount of wiki space to host some explanations of the fields, what values they can take, and their meanings, presumably I should just add it in under http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications ? Suggestions for the right section to use would be welcome.
