It seems to me we haven't added any new file formats/types for a while now. Are there any we should work on adding? Are there any reasons we shouldn't add them?
- something for Blender? (sth. like game environments if my impression
is correct)
- SMIL? (open standard alternative to Powerpoint, I think)
- Open Office 2 formats?
- what would be best for animations? I would find it hard to believe
that GIF is optimal...
Anything that is an unencumbered and documented format (or, as with XCF, at least has open source code) that doesn't contain active content (i.e. code), or can be cleansed of such, I would think.
Do we have such a written standard of what constitutes a suitable format?
