Sep 23, 2026, 10:38 AMI have *some* notes on their formats 😉, obviously no svg anywhere, so I guess convert it to pdf and lose a bunch of data to archive it. But also OOXML docx is ok 🤮
Obviously a bit of de facto going on I think.
On the other hand, we only see two slides and I bet they have an entire slide just for SVG 🥰
@doctormo True! Probably this slide is "the constrains", showing what offer the institution; and then in contrast on a later slide showing what type of files I offer in my case, or in other webcomic authors use.
@davidrevoy @doctormo So which files do they archive for your work ? Do they keep the original .kra or just the resulting images ? In which language(s) for the text ? They could just as well git clone your repo 😅
@denkodama @doctormo Yes, these are exactly the type of questions they studies. I don't have the answer yet either :)
@doctormo @davidrevoy there are a few reasons why this policy is the way it is:
1) we (i.e., preservation institutions) may "prefer" (and recommend) free formats, but we also need to insist on proprietary formats being acceptable. We don't like them but the burden of managing risks related to these must be on us.
