Years. The code we have is all research experimentation, and will 
probably remain so until someone can devote themselves full time to it. 
Alas, yes, we could all really use it. In the meantime there are other 
free codecs. Like the ffmpeg codec, or even mng. If you want to work on 
something, rewriting fiasco or porting on2's vp32 codec to ogg would be 
good interm solutions.

Although, for what I understand of indymedia's goals, I'd just use 
mpeg-1 video for clips. It's at least open and well implemented, if not 
free.

FWIW,
