It was > led by Asaf Bartov[2], from the Community Development team, with the active > involvement of an advisory committee made up of experienced OTRS and Commons > volunteers. The script development and video production were done by > contractor Victor Grigas[3], and reviewed by the advisory committee. > > The video is intended to be useful to OTRS agents, Commons volunteers, and > Wikipedia volunteers in various languages, for helping non-Wikimedians submit > media via OTRS.
