After trying to +compare +Ogg Theora to +the Digistan +definition of a free and open standard, I concluded that this need +to be done for more standards and started on a framework for doing +this. As a start, I want to get the status for all the standards in +the Norwegian reference directory, which include UTF-8, HTML, PDF, ODF, +JPEG, PNG, SVG and others. But to be able to complete this in a +reasonable time frame, I will need help.

If you want to help out with this work, please visit +the +wiki pages I have set up for this, 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).
