Aren't you mixing things a little bit ?
Nobody denies that there are problems with video support, Search engine and
image display. But this is not (completely) the responsability of the
Commons community. The software is provided by the foundation, and we deal
with what they give us. If you want
Well, just yesterday I saw a (good but slightly amateurish-looking) image

Thank you for commenting my open letter to Lila. I guess if I send an open
letter I should expect open responses, however I surely hope Lila will speak on
