Along the same lines, hopefully Commonist will simply become unnecessary and batch uploads possible without extra software.

It's finally becoming easy to make videos for Wikimedia projects. -Sage ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
