[ubuntu-art] Mandating usage of free tools.

[John Baer]

IMO using free tools is fundamental to community developed effort. Using
something else means going it alone.

The following comment used to live in the 

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/CommunityThemes

page but I don't see it now.


"Submissions should be made in formats that can be read by software
available from the Ubuntu Repositories. Preferred image formats include
XFC, SVG, and PNG. Preferred sound formats include WAV, FLAC and OGG
Vorbis. Master files, which may be further edited, should be maintained
in non-lossy formats and made available to the community. Preserving
vector graphics, raster layers and channels is important for such
materials."

We currently don't have a goals and objectives page for the team but if
we did I would advocate the use of free tools be there.
