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.

Thanks,
    GerardM
