Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] Status of GIF matters

Good idea. Whatever the outcome with phpGW, I suggest the FSF put up a page 
showing the PNG problem in various 
browsers with a tutorial showing how to minimise the problem and produce a 
uniform result. You might be able to 
product the work in association with Gimp and the person who produced:

Browser developers might want to add announcements to the page about new 
releases along the lines of:
"This problem occurs in 3.5 and is fixed in 3.6. Download 3.6 at __"

It would be a great resource for Web sites staying with GIFs because of rumours 
about PNGs. The Web site owners 
could make an informed decision to upgrade to PNGs with uniform backgrounds.
