+|[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XR JPEG XR] gives us better compression and other useful features like HDR and alpha channels. The library should be as similar to libjpeg as possible. It would be a "from scratch", freely licensed version and will need a student that is very comfortable with image compression and as has ideally written decompressors from scratch before.
-* '''"As a consequence, any implementation that would be suitable for inclusion in a software package distributed under some software licenses, such as the GNU General Public License, would need to be based on the image coding specification document or other software."''' So we can't just port the Microsoft source code. This will have to be a complete rewrite from the ground up. I'm not sure if a gSOC student has enough time to do this. [[User:Philip Chee|Ratty]]
