I'm in the process of updating all of my collections to Racket. I have most of the smaller ones done - animated-canvas, describe (with documentation this time), packed-binary, and uuid - with only table-panel left to go. Right now I'm finishing up the documentation for my new sesame library - an interface to the Sesame RDF triples store - that I'll release this weekend. [I need it for my 'real' job.] Then I'll move on to the 'big three' - science, simulation, and inference. They'll take me a while because of their size and complexity.But, I'll redo the graphics to PNG format at that time.<br>

Your science collection stores images as bitmaps. Storing them as png's instead reduces their size by about 99%. This is lossless, so there's no reduction in quality.<br>

If I'm doing the math correctly, this could reduce the size of the installed science collection from about 78 megabytes to about 7 megabytes (it looks like there are three copies of everything).<br>
