MonthlyMeeting200512

Agenda

• Address wiki spam (Spambots are now the most active "contributors")
  • Use norefer on links to make it less attractive? (default in newer MediaWiki)
  • More conter-measures? (e.g. delete accounts or auto-revert changes by identified spambots)
  • Or why not merely install a CAPTCHA hack for MediaWiki (the software for this wiki)?

• OggPCM and more
  • The whole debate has exposed the fact that there is no decision making authority at the moment
    • Some people have suggested creating a "steering committee" below the current board
  • Need a process to "approve" Xiph.Org codecs/standards
  • Some decision has to be made (in the shorter term) as to what version of OggPCM to adopt.

• The new speex.org site is ready, but someone (with permissions) needs to "install" it instead of the old one.

• Vorbis stills need more support on portable players. Shouldn't a team of Public Relations cover this issue by contacting as many player producer companies as possible?
