why hello there ArloJames |

well, this is a pretty low-traffic channel, only really used for "what's the password" and "hey, X is going down", longer discussion is usually moved to #archiveteam-bs, as is off-topic chatter |

joepie91 - I figured, but before I would have assumed that the main channel would be the casual, higher-throughput channel, and then there would be a dedicated #archiveteam-login or #archiveteam-announcements side channel. It matters not, though. |

pdf is a pretty good choice |
|

🔗
|
db48x |
a conversion from doc to pdf to odf probably won't have a lot of fidelity though |
|

pdf is great at capturing the visual layout of a document, but it loses a lot of semantic information |
|
05:25
🔗
|
db48x |
even things like the reading order of lines of text are missing from pdf (pdf will have the coordinates and size, instead) |
|
05:28
🔗
|
db48x |
whatever conversions you decide on, the best thing to do is keep the originals as well |
|
05:29
🔗
|
db48x |
we can emulate the old software to read them, or redo the conversions as the tools improve |

LaTeX isn't future-proof. TeX would be |

and conversions to LaTeX/TeX are annoying |

marc: please make sure a copy of it exists in an open format at least |
|
15:29
🔗
|
joepie91 |
no point in having a copy if you can't read it and the information needed to do so is missing |
