Hi first I'm happy that theora 1.1 is almost complete. I'm not a specialist in internals of video coding , still currently I'm involved in online video projects so I have a great interest in theora and it's future. Here http://wiki.xiph.org/TheoraTodo#Theora_II it is mentioned that there are ways to significantly improve theora. Are there plans for near future? I tried to look at lapped transforms and found that really there are papers which seems are out of patent horizon http://signal.ece.utexas.edu/~queiroz/papers/ei00flt.pdf<http://signal.ece.utexas.edu/%7Equeiroz/papers/ei00flt.pdf> and could be used along with improvements in range coding. But also found for example such approach - which seems can effectively use current infrastructure ( not sure on patents though - but it is possible to check ) . http://www2.computer.org/plugins/dl/pdf/proceedings/dcc/2008/3121/00/3121a532.pdf so will there be any discussions on what currently could be used for theora II or what is the current state on future plans ?
