It's a handy resource, but there's a fairly wacky variety of file  
formats up there, I have to say... JPEG for CD artwork?  SXD for  
business cards?  GIF for buttons (does anyone really use GIFs for  
anything except animations any more?)

Would it be useful to standardise on three or four formats (maybe PDF,  
ODF, PNG, JPG... possibly SVG?), and post up a couple of guidelines on  
which are the most appropriate for different types of assets? PDF for  
anything that's going to be printed as-is, ODF for anything that's  
going to be printed but needs customising first, PNG for online  
graphics, JPGs for wallpapers, that sort of thing...

Cheeri,
Calum.
