Submitting models as .sh3f or .obj?
I see that on the Sourceforge 3D Models Contributions Tracking System, .obj files are preferred over .sh3f.

I've submitted quite a few models recently and used .sh3f because I thought, "well, Puybaret created the .sh3f file format so why wouldn't he want us to upload files in that format?" I further reasoned that he's a busy guy who might have forgotten to update the instructions on the Sourceforge site. I also like that .sh3f stores elevation data.

But, since I've made more models for uploading, and some of the models I already submitted are in need of a V2, I decided to ask:

Is it okay to upload models on the Contributions page on Sourceforge in .sh3f format?

If not, why?
