Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

## LC Making thumbnails is a simple enough job that most authors should be able to manage, but it's also reasonable for them to request that an image editor or markup tech do it. We don't want to force authors to have lots of skills they don't really need.

Added: 15a17
## LC The best estimate you can have for setting policy is likely to be no better than a rough order of magnitude, so I think targeting 56k is reasonable.

Added: 20a23
## LC I agree with Magnus--"suitable" is only definable in the context of the article and the image itself. We can't offer fixed rules; we can only say things like "usable" and "reasonably sized" and have the author/editors decide the details for each case.

Added: 25a29
## LC I would reword this to say "...if the image(s) are of reasonable size and are an integral..."

Added: 29a34
## LC This is kind of ambiguous. This is a case where I think we need specific numbers--say, "in a format that can be reproduced legibly at 300dpi and that looks good at 600dpi."

Added: 41a47
## LC SVG and EPS won't be served with Nupedia articles, but that doesn't mean they can't be stored as archived source code. Every serious drawing program exports EPS; requiring it is no hardship. If the author knows how to produce the PNG for the server, that's fine. If he doesn't, he can get help from us techies.

Added: 52a59
## LC The information is the thing--how we present it is important, but can be changed at any time, as long as we have good source information.
