[Bf-docboard] Optimizing images (to Stefano)

[Omar Modesto]

Optimizing images is just a matter or increasing the compression of PNG 
images. These optimized images can be up to 1/3 of their original file size. 
No quality is lost, just better lossless compression. That would really 
reduce page load times for people reading the manual online, and download 
times for people who download the whole thing. There are apps for optimizing 
images (OptiPNG, pngcrush, pngout, advpng/advdeflate), but I thought no one 
else in the documentation project had time for that, so I thought it would 
be a nice thing to do.

Now, about JPEG images...they can be optimized by removing useless chunks of 
data that have nothing to do with image(color) data. The compression 
increase is not much (1%-6%).

Oh...and how would I go about submitting stuff via e-mail? Just attach the 
images to the e-mail and send them?

Again, thanks.

Omar
