Ah, lovely isn't? Don't worry tho, if enough people organize together, they can... (drumroll) ...Fork! Bwahahaha, thats also a beauty in open source, power for the people! yay! May the source be with you Open source projects development speed can vary due to many factors, one of them could be when its a one man's project. Sometimes you can create incentives, hire the author, or hire people to contribute patches or do it yourself, Should for some reason they don't get accepted, you could maintain special patches or do a complete fork altogether, in other words, bypass "the one true source". Some people fear this "fork" word, think of redundancy, duplicating efforts, etc. but i see it as yet another way to stimulate progress, and its what happens when people can't get themselves well together. There is no need to push Monty or any other person working in any open source project, since you have the source, you can contribute to the project, or start your own, either from the already done work (fork) or from scratch. As they say, its released when its ready... On the other hand, the vorbis format is complete and there is nothing stopping others from creating their own encoders to make vorbis compliant streams. Of course they could also create their own formats as well... From Hydrogenaudio Terms of Service / Notices :1.
