I hope this is the right place to ask this question:
is there a technical
reason for not hosting TIFF files on Wikimedia servers? Commons forbids
them, and apparently has since the beginning. However, it would be helpful
for Wikisource if TIFF files of scans of public domain works could be
uploaded and used for proofreading and/or archival.
What do you need TIFF files for that PNG can't handle?
I'm genuine interested; there are things the TIFF format can do that PNG
can't, but I'd like to know which features you need and why.
