Vorbis dev - Jun 2000 - Documentation.

Hi,
   the ogg vorbis project is all about openness if I am right. But I see from
the website that none of the documentation is in place. There is no point in
saying that "Hello we have an open format", unless /all/ the
documentation is
in place. For example, I wanted to contribute something to the project, but
without documentation, the developement will be confined to a select few.

We are aware that the lack of documentation is a bad thing - but it
requires time to get it all written, and effort so far has mostly been
concentrated on the codec itself. The documentation WILL get written.

If you want to help out, all the source is available, along with sufficient
examples and documentation to make it quite usable. Don't be put off by the
lack of documentation.
