Duplicate content: Submission guidelines as PDF and in Wiki

[k00ni]

Submission guidelines information is located both in PDF (https://github.com/SEMICeu/DCAT-AP/blob/master/DCAT-AP_Issue_submission_guidelines_v0.01.pdf) and in the wiki (https://github.com/SEMICeu/DCAT-AP/wiki/Submission-guidelines).

Are you open to only use one document containing this information?

Using PDF files could make it harder for people using accessibility technology to access information (e.g. https://accessibility.psu.edu/pdf/pdfissues/). Another reason against it is that Github users can't contribute to the PDF file because its considered a binary.

Using the wiki might also not be the right place. The wiki is only accessible via Github, but it seems this repository is also used in other places.

Therefore I would argue that a simple Markdown/Textfile should be enough. When its Markdown the file is rendered via Github and could almost look as nice as the current PDF. Also it allows contributions by others.

What do you think?
