A quick response for the benefit of those people in the JSON community that are not following CBOR closely:

Anders Rundgren is pursuing a personal project here that does not have any support in the CBOR community.

I’ll leave it to you to judge this project, but would advise you to not waste your time.

(Creating documentation for specific CBOR implementations such as that peddled by Anders is of course fine and would have our support.
There are also other efforts to write more book-like documents about using CBOR that are not actively trying to distract from CBOR WG work.)
