Happy new year, everyone! Many thanks for all your wonderful multimedia contributions last year! We’re deeply grateful for all that you are doing to help create a richer media experience on Commons, Wikipedia and all Wikimedia sites --- and now that we have a full multimedia team, we look forward to making some great progress together this year.
To kick off the new year, we invite you to check out a proposed multimedia vision for 2016, which was prepared by our multimedia and design teams, with guidance from community members. We invite you to view it and share your feedback here on Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Multimedia_Features/Vision_2016 This possible scenario is intended for discussion purposes, to help us visualize how we could improve our user experience over the next three years. This particular exploration proposes ways to integrate Wikipedia more closely with Commons, so that Wikipedians could contribute more easily to our free media repository, wherever they are. This presentation is meant to spark community feedback on goals we are considering. To that end, we hosted several roundtable discussions in recent weeks, and are now inviting more community members to chime in online. After you’ve viewed the video, we would be grateful if you could share your feedback in this discussion: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Multimedia_Features/Vision_2016 In coming weeks, we will start more discussions focusing on some key features outlined in this proposed vision, and hope you will join those conversations as well, so we can make informed decisions together as a movement. More on this next week. Thanks again for all that you do. We look forward to more collaborations with you! All the best, Fabrice on behalf of the Multimedia Team _______________________________ Fabrice Florin Product Manager, Multimedia Wikimedia Foundation Wikipedia Profile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fabrice_Florin_(WMF) Multimedia Project Hub: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Multimedia _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
