To toot our (Mozilla's) horn --- most of the Opus work has been done by Xiph people who are being paid to work full-time on Opus by Mozilla. (Hopefully Monty mentioned it, but this article didn't).

Work on the new video codec will likely be the same.

Can you point to any articles for a dumbie that explain the why of opus as compared to other speech codecs such as speex?

New to the topic, I wonder if this is a next generation thing, or a different target.

To respond to myself, I foudn this page pretty good in clarifying the opus target goals.
