Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikitech-l] Release of educational videos under creative commons
2012/4/24 Samuel Klein meta...@gmail.com Where's the latest thread on the Timed Media Handler progress? I am meeting with MIT Open CourseWare tomorrow - they want to expand the set of videos they released last year under CC-SA, starting with categories / vids that would be fill gaps on Wikipedia. Any thoughts on how to make that collaboration more effective would be welcome. SJ You can upload them to Internet Archive, if Wikipedia has temporal issues with videos. When the problems are fixed, we can move them from Internet Archive to Wikimedia Commons. -- Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada.

2012/4/24 Andrew Cates andrew.ca...@soschildren.org Um. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Video appear to all be images relevant to the topic of videos. Not themselves videos. Sorry, a missing S, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Videos Owner? Not personally but I am the CEO of the charity which owns them and I can release them. Is there any actual video anywhere on WP and in what format? Yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_containing_video_clips The prefered format is Theora https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Video Andrew == (Please, press Reply all to send your e-mails to the mailing list too, and not just me) On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 1:26 PM, emijrp emi...@gmail.com wrote: 2012/4/24 Andrew Cates andrew.ca...@soschildren.org I am wondering about releasing many hundreds of Africa educational videos under creative commons. They are the videos currently at www.our-africa.org which is a child generated reference site about Africa. There is a lot of material in the videos which could be edited and used to improve Wikipedia article (a solar kettle in operation, a maize plant grinding maize, a variety of musical instruments in use, different religious festivals, cocoa plantations etc etc) However at present Wikipedia does not seem to support or want video material. Wikipedia supports video with [[Media:]] tag. Also, Wikimedia Commons has a little collection of them https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Video Does anyone have a feel whether this is likely to change? http://www.videoonwikipedia.com Also, this message is more related to Wikimedia or Commons mailing lists (cc:). If you are the owner of those videos and you want to donate them, some people can help you in the process.

Well, not really - uploading video is still laborious because we've been waiting literally years for the Timed Media Handler, which is a wikitech issue. Andrew could probably deal with the ffmpeg2theora bit, but it's still faffy and troublesome. - d. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l -- Samuel Klein identi.ca:sj w:user:sj +1 617 529 4266 ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
