The bunch of images is already there, kindly provided by Carsten,
I'm personally on my way to update the outdated (i.e. re-taking screenshots
where interface has changed (Rendering buttons, etc)

There are guidelines in the styleguide to make screenshots
consistent. This doesn't mean they cannot be improved, of course,
but a starting point is there ;)

Formats MUST be decide together with standard, 
PNG is great for bitmaps, EPS for vector graphics. We should use
both formats, IMHO, actually all three (JPGs for Renderings) since

renderings -> lossy compression is OK -> JPG
buttons/screenshots -> lossy compression is not OK -> PNG
graphs/flocharts -> vectorial in nature -> EPS

storing screenshots in EPS or a flowchart in PNG is
mostly inappropriate ;)
