Official Recommendations

[viluon]

Maintain a list of preferred (recommended) formats for different categories. Multiple formats for the same category can be recommended. For a standard to be recommended, it has to be accepted and proven to be used by a large enough number of users (this might be very hard to determine, but I'll leave this up on the contributors and owners of this repository 😛). A good example of a standard to be recommended is NFP, the default image format for paint files.

Yeah that is a good point. Maybe mentioning it in the category README. I'd say we should only be accepting multiple standards for one thing (i.e. image formats) if they have different use cases or they're all highly used.

Bump, recommendations need an explanation on what they are. A list of recommended standards can already be viewed here (although it was me who just labeled the recommended standards, which were listed in the Image README, and it wasn't me who put them there, so please keep these lists synced, it's very important), but we should create a file about official recommendations maybe in the /Tutorial/ folder (currently only in the tutorial branch). The rules for accepting a standard as recommended should also be outlined more clearly.
