I think that it is important that we offer members a format which they can 
easily edit with tools available in ubuntu. However, I realize that printers 
often use other formats. It is therefore important that we offer both formats 
but it is imperative that the designs are not changed in any way.

All the info on how to edit, print, etc. should be displayed on the the wiki 
page (or at least a very clear link to the info should be provided), if not in 
the SVG itself.

As for have a one-sided design as well as the two sided design, I will clear 
this up and get back to you ;) I will have a definite answer by the beginning 
on next week (yes, some people are still on vacation!).
