So Daala has made it to slashdot, how come it has not made it to my favorite 
browser?

OK - I realize it is uh, not fully baked, yet. Actually I would describe it as 
we were still mixing the flour with the milk for this cake and have not added 
the vanilla yet much less starting baking it but ….

Seriously, why not put it in Firefox and develop this in an agile way, just let 
it keep getting better, break the bitstream whenever for now, just put it in 
and iterate. We need to realize that a successful video codec is partially a 
technical problem and partially a problem of getting the whole ecosystem to 
agree to build the codec before there is any use use of it, that includes chip 
set vendors, mobile handsets, conference bridges, and yes, even browsers. So 
help break the chicken  / egg problem of who goes first by shipping it early 
and often. 

While we are on the topic, why not add in all the codecs that can easily be 
added and don't have IPR problems. That increases the number of ways one can 
use firefox and make it a better platform. 

Now I am going to go back to finding the paddles for the canoe in my back yard 
(Calgary is flooding as we speak)
