[theora] feedback European Commission pilot assessment

[Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves]

Dear Sir,

I believe a representant of the Xiph Foundation addressed the IDABC
questionnaire publically at the following online location
<http://wiki.xiph.org/IDABC_Questionnaire_2009>.

We hope you find those answers useful for your investigation.


Best regards,

Ivo Gonçalves
