 2 | 
 3 | QOI (the "Quite OK Image" format for fast, lossless image compression) was
 4 | announced in November 2021:
 5 | 
 6 | - https://phoboslab.org/log/2021/11/qoi-fast-lossless-image-compression
 7 | - https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi
 8 | 
 9 | It attracted a lot of interest and suggested changes. The performance /
10 | compression numbers were impressive! Shortly afterwards, the author declared
11 | ["the data format is now
12 | fixed"](https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/issues/37#issuecomment-980789466)
13 | (fixed meaning unchanging, not unbroken), as they were absolutely entitled to
14 | do.
15 | 
16 | This placeholder repository (and in particular, its GitHub issue tracker) is an
17 | *unofficial* place to continue those bike-shedding discussions - a possible
18 | "QOI version 2".  No promises are made about whether those discussions actually
19 | result in anything.
20 | 
21 | Please file separate issues for separate concerns. For example,
22 | 
23 | - Issue #1 tracks overall status.
24 | - Issue #2 tracks adding a version number (or equivalent) to the header.
25 | - Issue #3 tracks big-endian vs little-endian.
26 | - When adding new issues (in the GitHub web UI), there's no need to update this
27 |   README.md file.
