Content formats, correctly encoding content, and converting formats aren't the easiest of tasks. This often involves a linux machine, and previous knowledge of obscure and arcane options and flags. |

It would be great if our content volunteers didn't have to do all of this work themselves. There are several great linux based software-as-a-service gateways that would allow a web interface to linux command line tools. |

== Use Cases == |
|||
* I have recorded an audiobook with my mp3 recorder. The XO doesn't have mp3 support and my file is far too large. I would like to transcode the file into a few different formats for the XO but I don't have the software nor know how to get it. |
|||
* I have a children's book in a pdf format that I would like to give to children. Djvu is a better format for this book than pdf, but I don't know how to convert the file. |
