+Contribute to Xiph.Org
+======================
+
+You want to help Xiph.Org out on its mission to bring high-quality multimedia compression to
+the world? Great! Here are a few ideas on how you might help us out…
+
+* Before You Start
+ * Use high-quality, modern libraries and toolkits to ensure that comments can be handled
+ with a minimum of fuss.
+ * Plan your UI first.
+
+* Enhance a preexisting audio player to take advantage of the features of Vorbis and FLAC.
+* Make your software easy to use.
+* Make sure that our formats are well-supported on all popular platforms.
+* Use the features of our formats and tools to their fullest.
+* If you’re writing something using our formats, stay involved with what we’re doing.
+
+
+## Make sure that it’s easy for relative novices to listen to media files in our formats.
+Try to ensure that your
+
+## Improve Vorbis, FLAC, and Speex support in Windows Media Player.
+## Improve Vorbis, FLAC, and Speex support in iTunes.
+iTunes is _the_ audio player for OS X; in order to be usable on that platform by novices, we
+need to be at least somewhat usable on that platform.
+Translated: Make sure that people can play Vorbis, FLAC, and Speex on Windows Media player on
+Windows and on iTunes on OS X.
+
+_(links to directshow and qt filters)_
+
+
+
+## Improve the quality of Vorbis, FLAC, and Speex support on free audio players.
+
+
+### Add codec support for our codecs in your application
+
+One of the ways you can help us out is to make sure our codecs work on as many players as
+possible—preferably the most common players.
+
+## Improve the comment handling in your (or someone else’s) application
+
+A number of music player applications don’t handle all the corner cases that can happen with
+[Vorbis-style comment headers][vcomment]. In particular…
+
+* Does the app ensure that only UTF-8 enters the comment header?
+
+* Does the app allow multiline comment values?
+
+* Does the app handle streams that have more than one comment with the same name?
+
+ For example, what would your app do if you had two `%artist%` comments—one set to
+ “Duke Ellington†and the other to “Count Basie� If your app has a way to select tracks by
+ artist, would the track show up in both Count Basie’s and Duke Ellington’s lists?
+
+* Concatenate two Ogg-encapsulated audio files together. Does the user lose any functionality
+ compared to if they were not concatenated?
+
+## Add VorbisGain support
+[VorbisGain][] is a not-quite-widely-supported, nondestructive way to normalize your audio
+collection so you don’t have to fiddle with the volume knob while listening to a shuffled playlist.
+If you’re writing a music player that supports Vorbis, FLAC, or Speex, adding VorbisGain support
+can make long listening sessions with your player a little _less_ interactive. In a good way.
+
+## Make sure that your player can play Vorbis and FLAC files gaplessly
+This is a very nice feature for classical music albums (where one symphony may span many tracks)
+and for continuous mixes.
+
+There are two main things that you need to do in order to make sure that your player can play
+files gaplessly. First, you need support in the audio format so the audio player can know
+how much noise to remove from the decoded output. Second, you need to avoid closing and reopening
+the audio stream in between tracks.
+
+_(please fill this in a bit more.)_
+
+Costless software is nice; [free software][] is better. OS X has a number of abandonware audio
+programs to handle Vorbis and FLAC files, but any one of them might break irreparably in the
+next OS upgrade. By writing software and releasing the source to it, you help ensure that your
+work outlives you.
+
+## Give money to us
+
+If all else fails, you could [give us money][donate]. Your funds help keep Monty hacking.
