Patch Set 1:
What's the maximum size?
There's not a maximum size per-se, but usually I managed to shrink images proposed for Documentation from 200-300kb to 50kb with no significant loss in fidelity.
Remember that any file we add to the master branch will remain in the repo _permanently_, still around long after we removed it from the tree (e.g. because we retired its support because nobody has a working board anymore).
Can I actually add a zip file instead of the JPG files?
You couldn't include them into the page from a zip. Also, zipping jpeg usually helps _very_ little since it's compressed already.
Check out jpegoptim, a simple console tool to reduce jpeg file sizes, and look at its quality settings. You can usually get by with a quality setting between 60 and 80 for PCB photos and still have a pretty good picture.
