Let’s just solve the file format problem
- codgercoder 14y agoOh, and world hunger the next month.
- tobylane 14y agoSolve it by detailing the past, not defining a new format to replace all others (aka format #11). I got the impression they wanted to to the latter until the second half. Sounds a reasonable plan, though scanning in all sorts of records between typewriter and file formats (not a time period I know anything about) is the sort of thing to be done the same way and possibly more important.
- dasgagafg 14y agoSeems quite interesting, though I found the format of the post extremely off-putting.
- crazygringo 14y agoI don't get it. It's just collecting and digitizing document format reference manuals? I guess I feel a little underwhelmed, compared to the expectations raised by the post's title.
- avstraliitski 14y ago"Wikipedia represents a massive expenditure of energy recovered from not watching television" - hear, hear. Open distribution of file format documentation? Pfft, licensing issues...
