After a couple of years of slow development, and pretty poor performance, Theora is now
getting a real shot in the arm with the 'Thusnelda' project.

Robert O'Callahan linked to the last in a fascinated series of illustrated diary entries from
Monty.  They are well worth reading in full, and show absolutely huge improvements in the
quality of Theora encoded videos.

They date from sometime around March, to just a few days ago:
