Hello! I wrote a blog post requesting help for Theora on MSVC-syntax assembly. This is my first time speaking for Xiph instead of just myself so please teach me what to do better next time. (Better offlist probably.) My post might contain a few interesting bits for Xiph members as well. It can be found here: http://blog.hartwork.org/?p=86 Sebastian

Hello! I'd like to add the missing link for "TheoraSoftwarePlayers" to the mainpage. I don't feel like asking Ivo for doing Wiki edits every time is a long term solution. Can you give me admin rights for the Xiph wiki? I'd also like to link to the People page from the front page. Any idea what section I should put that link in? Thanks in advance, Sebastian

I mean this one: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/xspf/ It has 6 messages in total. The reason why I think we should kill it is that it potentially confuses people looking the XSPF mailing list. What do you think? Who has is able to such a cleanup task? Sebastian

Any objections to sorting the list of projects on http://xiph.org/downloads/ alphabetically? This is the order that we have currently: libogg libvorbis vorbis-tools libtheora libspeex libflac libao libxspf vorbis-java I can do it if you let me. Sebastian

... and was wondering how it differs from the official libvorbis and why there is need for a fork. Could somebody shed some light on the past and background of the libvorbis/aoTuV story please? Both on- and offlist mails are welcome. Thanks in advance, Sebastian

I just checked out trunk/vorbis to build the latest libvorbis, and noticed an inconsistency in the project settings. For the two build configurations Debug and Release, we have as the Output Directory "$(SolutionDir)$(ConfigurationName)", and the Intermediate Directory "Debug". ("Release" for the Release configuration) However, for the two build configurations

Hello! There is a problem with the current name of the "Xiph license". All the variantions of this name out there imply at least one of these two false assumptions: * that the Xiph license would be a custom license not related to the BSD license at all * that the Xiph license would be based on BSD but is not the same Both is wrong and both hurts Xiph. The license text is

The parts of klibc specific to the ia64 architecture. Signed-off-by: H.

Sensei H. Peter Anvin, I have successfully modified/enhanced memdisk so that one can chainload a local operating system after running diskless FreeDOS. I would like your advice regarding the appropriate interface for invoking this functionality. In addition, I would like to know what steps to take so that you feel comfortable considering including this in the standard syslinux distribution.

I have updated the klibc patchset based on feedback received. In particular, the patchset has been reorganized so as not to break git-bisect. Additionally, this updates the patch base to 2.6.17-git12 (d38b69689c349f35502b92e20dafb30c62d49d63) and klibc 1.4.8; the main difference on the klibc side is removal of obsolete code. This is also available as a git tree at:

Hello! In order to be able to permanently "register" the #xspf channel I need to be approved as a Xiph.org contact, either a general or XSPF-specific one, not sure. I guess some Xiph person has gone through the process filling out http://freenode.net/group_contact_form.shtml before? Would be great to hear how you want me to do that or if there's anything I should know about

I have a few thoughs and questions about donating to Xiph that I hop you have a minute for. Here we go: == "Who donated what" list == As it seems we don't have a "Who donated what" list. I thought creating such a list could increase motivation to donate to some parties. What I currently have in mind would be to start listing donations from now on below the current content

Hello! I stumbled upon the blog of Xiph member Arek Korbik [1] a few minutes ago and the "planet idea" came to my mind again. What I mean is a website collection posts from a number of blogs as Planet KDE [2] is doing for example. Is there such a thing for Xiph? Is there interest in having such a thing? If so would there be a chance to cover the domain costs from past/future
