Vorbis - Jul 2001 - Open Source Compression

I thought some here may find this interesting...  There has been
discussion in Monkey's Audio forum about creating a new open source format
for lossless audio compression with the intent of creating a *standard* for
lossless compression, similar to what Xiph is trying to do with Ogg Vorbis.
Some have even been tossing around the idea of trying to work in conjunction
with Xiph on this, and a couple developers from other lossless formats seem
interested as well.

  Regardless of your interest in lossless compression, the knowledge to be
gained from such a project with said people involved would be tremendous.
Check out the thread...

Ooo, this is very serendipitous.  Now that final Vorbis 1.0 is near,
I'd been planning to start contacting people as I'd like the new
'Squish' (Or whatever it ends up being called) to be a collaboration.
I have a few novel ideas I've not yet tried, and I expect the Shorten,
LPAC and Monkey's Audio folks have quite a bit to add to this.

Will do.  Thanks for the tip.
