Today I was checking RareWares' links page to find broken links, and happened upon Xiph's page. I noticed the "news" there were 3-4 years old.
So I was wondering, does anyone, by any chance, know what is going on there? Are they working on Vorbis2, or Tarkin, or Theora? Have they disbanded and only the web pages remain? I remember that in Emmett's time, he would feed us news non-stop, mostly from #vorbis (he was a little too loud, matter of factly :B). Now, we listen nothing but crickets. Do we have some insider here that knows if something is going on there, at all? Maybe Coalson or Valin? And what the hell is Emmett up to anyway? Thanks for any info.

QUOTE (vlada @ Mar 4 2007, 00:29)  Do you remember this thread? The problem I see with that thread is that it got derailed after it was claimed that all Xiph projects are dead, jmvalin didn't like that statement and the original focus was lost. I agree not all Xiph projects are dead, but that's mostly thanks to individual developers than Xiph itself - that is, the projects would still be alive even if Xiph didn't exist. Valin keeps Speex alive, Coalson keeps FLAC alive, and even aoyumi and Blacksword keep vorbis somewhat alive. The issue is not Xiph's projects being dead, it is Xiph itself looking dead. -------------------- Get up-to-date binaries of Lame, AAC, Vorbis and much more at RareWares:
