I'm currently working on the Scott Forseman image donation, cutting
large scanned images into smaller, manually optimized ones.
The category containing the unprocessed images is

Use DjVu for scanned images, not PNG.
1. I didn't create or upload those (in case this was meant for me; if
it was a general remark, I fully agree)
2. If the system allows it, users will use it. How many of our regular
users even know about our DjVu capability, lest alone friendly
drive/by contributors? How many of them can create DjVu easily, and
will bother doing so?
3. Doesn't solve the problem at hand.
