The image (the (FC6 banner in the upper left) has a lot of gradients and
JPG compression would look a lot better for the size it's at now (~10k).
The previous version which was a jpg was only ~7k. I think there is some
way to squeeze PNGs down though for photographic/gradient artwork, but,
none of the FOSS tools I can find seem to do it. :(
Considering everything:
... wanting a small page that loads quickly
... wanting graphics that look nice
... wanting to adhere to standards of freedom
Let's use JPEG and be happy we can.
JPEG is a lossy in this case, I do not agree it looks nice.:) It's good
for high resolution photos bud not for shaped graphics. If you have a
source in lossles format then png is the best quality/size option.. I'm
very unpleased about fedora logo on wiki front page as it has ugly
yellowish shadows = JPG. Just check it with pipete in gimp wherether its
white or not.
