What layout there could you not accomplish via Wikitext?
In this simple case, ensuring that every exercise fits on one page of size A5 (half page of size A4). In more advanced brochure examples, the nice and readable layout.
The fact is, I have an ODT file. This will not change. The question is, can Wikimedia Commons handle this or do I have to start a separate project?
Even allowing ODT its use really hurts editability, since we lose many of revision control features of mediawiki for these documents and require users to have a particular software package installed rather than just using the website.
It is actually no different from JPEG images. You can edit them with Photoshop or GIMP or any other program. And the Open Document Format is open so it can be edited with any software, including OpenOffice.org or Microsoft Office.
The main difference is that the PDF that I can upload, cannot easily be edited.
