Dear James, Thanks for clarifying your goals for supporting HTML embed codes in VE — it's music to my ears :)
Now that Media Viewer is about to be released on all wikis, it would be wonderful if VE could start accepting such HTML embed codes sooner rather than later. Is there any chance that the VE team might consider making this a high priority feature in coming weeks? We would all be very grateful if you could take this on, and would be happy to support you in any way we can :) For the record, here is the Mingle ticket we’re using to track this collaboration between our teams: https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/multimedia/cards/500 Thanks again for all your help with this project.
