Guys, these spam attacks have to stop! It is always the same IP ranges 60.25.x.x. Is there a way to block updates from such IPs in MediaWiki ?

Follow the link above to get a less outdate cache.


If I want something very portable and robust (for sport), then solid state storage is the way to go, right? Some flash based player?


Hi, anyone else thinks the VorbisHardware page could be splitted into 4...6 sub pages in order to structure the growing content?

What about

  • portable hardware players
  • static hardware players
  • third party software in hardware
  • Projects
  • Embedded

?? Comments, please!


Some stats to write down in here: The new VorbisHardware Wiki has been up since 16:29, 27 Aug 2004. Now, one month later this site had more than 4600 visits (grabbed from counter on the bottom). The page is 8.5 screen units to scroll on my 1024px high monitor. Time to reconsider a split of contents as mentioned above? --Bodo 14:49, 29 Sep 2004 (PDT)


Anyone know anything about Frontierlabs and the NEX ia? I have emailed their techsupport numerous times, to try and find out how they are progressing with their Ogg support (if at all), but have never received a reply...

Guys, these spam attacks have to stop! It is always the same IP ranges 60.25.x.x. Is there a way to block updates from such IPs in MediaWiki ?

product description scheme

Now that new Vorbis gadget seem to come in on a weekly basis, I agree that a page split is inevitable.

Could we also agree on a scheme how and what information about products is posted ? Current scheme is mostly ok, but there are some crappy entries. I'd keep company name first, linked to international company site -- it's confusing if it is used to directly link to the product in question.

Then follow the unlinked names of the products. In the text itself the product names should be linked to their respective sites. Also a short discription of other features would be nice, not just 'supports vorbis'. Then about third party links: only one review per product should be linked, extra photo links and other bullcrap can be skipped. Maybe some firmware links if necessary.
