m cleaned up notation (message --> source block) and capitalization (raptor --> Raptor) and corrections (Online codes are not Raptor codes, but are an example of fountain codes), etc.

Raptor codes require ''O(symbol size)'' time to generate an encoding symbol. Decoding a source block requires ''kO(source block size)'' source symbolstime, utilizing a combination of a belief propagation decoding algorithm and Gaussian elimination decoding requires ''O(k*symbol size)'' time for the appropriate choice of inner/outer codes.
