[CREATE] Status of libora?

[Luka Čehovin]

Hello Jehan,

I am the original creator of libora, however, due to amount of other
work in recent years and the lack of general interest at the time I
have drifted away from its development. I was not even aware that
there are bug reports on freedesktop bugtracker related to libora. If
you want, I can take a look, apply your patch and answer some
questions about the code, but I cannot really do much more at the
moment as I am involved in other projects. The library is not really
feature complete, but the basic stuff is there and I would really like
to see somebody using it. So if you decide to add something you can
also create a fork of the repository on Gitorious ... that would be
the best way to start I guess.

Cheers,
