What is it about OSS project webpages and burying any layman's explanation or context.
It's like they've been knee-deep in it so long, surrounded by fellow geeks they just assume everyone should know what they're talking about.
Also, how is it not clear what the project is? First thing I see from the submission link:
> Software defined VHS decoder
> A fork of LD-Decode, the decoding software powering the Domesday86 Project
Which links to https://github.com/happycube/ld-decode and https://www.domesday86.com/
> Software defined LaserDisc decoder
and
> Domesday86 is a project that aims to recreate the experience of the original BBC Domesday project using modern hardware and software
Which leads me to searching what BBC Domesday is, as I didn't know:
> The BBC Domesday Project was a partnership between Acorn Computers, Philips, Logica, and the BBC to mark the 900th anniversary of the original Domesday Book, an 11th-century census of England. It has been cited as an example of digital obsolescence on account of the physical medium used for data storage.
Not sure why everything has to be made for/explained as it's made for literally everyone. Some software is for a niche section of programmers/developers/$niche-group, that's perfectly fine. If you're curious, use a search engine like the rest of us.
