I started this thread because I was puzzled why someone was changing a draft instead of the document itself. I started making changes to "OggPCM" back January. Maybe I was wrong to do that, and I should have been changing "OggPCM Draft2" instead. Having four versions of a document is very confusing to newcomers (like me), and I still suggest the number should be reduced.> > I suggest this because somebody has started making changes to OggPCM > > Draft2. > > That someone is me.Hi Sampo. If I had know it was you then I would have e-mailed you directly. Regards, Martin -- Martin J Leese E-mail: martin.leese@stanfordalumni.org Web: http://members.tripod.com/martin_leese/

OggPCM2 was started to put and end to the wiki edit war. OggPCM3 was purely a joke.

In one of the last monthly meetings it was decided that OggPCM is ready and all it needs is an implementation (for instance, in ogg123). The problem is that nobody seems available to do it. If either Martin or Sampo would like to work on it, I believe nobody will oppose. CMML and Skeleton implementations are far more urgent right now, though. I have changed the main page in the XiphWiki to link to Draft2 as the "official" OggPCM. Hope that helps. -Ivo
