Hoi,
A lot of wiktionarians are involved in recording pronunciations at the
moment. At issue is that pronunciations that are recorded for scientific
purposes are universally saved as wav files. Given that with the shtooka
software we can record vast amounts of pronunciations, it is a waste to
destroy something that can have an incredible value because of an
insistence on .ogg files.
I would urge us to allow for the recording in .wav files in order to
ensure that this data keeps its relevance for scientific usage.
Our software will gladly allow you to upload Ogg/FLAC files (a
lossless format). If we should advise the is an open question, but you
are not prohibited from uploading lossless files if there is a real
need.
