+Ogg Theora</a> to
+<a href="http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition">the Digistan

+JPEG, PNG, SVG and others. But to be able to complete this in a

+wiki pages I have set up for this</a>, and let me know that you want
+to help out. The IRC channel #nuug on irc.freenode.net is a good
+place to coordinate this for now, as it is the IRC channel for the
+NUUG association where I have created the framework (I am the leader
+of the Norwegian Unix User Group).</p>
