this and decided to implement Ogg Theora support in their browsers
without paying any royalties. For now the claims from MPEG-LA and
Steve Jobs seem more like FUD to scare people to use the H.264 codec
-than any real problem with Ogg Theora.

+<p>After trying to compare Ogg Theora to
+<ahref="http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition">the Digistan
+definition</a> 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.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to help out with this work, please visit
+<ahref="http://wiki.nuug.no/grupper/standard/digistan-analyse">the
+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>
+
+<p>The framework is still forming, and a lot is left to do. Do not be
+scared by the sketchy form of the current pages. :)</p>
