New upload branch has been deployed for a few weeks now. You can take advantage of some of its feature set with the mwEmbed gadgets: http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2009/10/new-media-features-gadget/ I hope to transition those gadgets to be 'enabled by default' or 'opt-in' as part of the usability efforts. Not sure how that will work yet. The next big things coming up: a) enabling copy-by-url uploads on commons then in-line insert from remote repositories and in-line uploading can be exposed as seen on http://prototype.wikimedia.org/sandbox.2/Main_Page b) getting a api-iframe-proxy in-place so you can do those in-line uploads and remote inserts into commons from any edit page on *.wikipedia or arbitrary approved remote domains. Also aim to polish up the ogg derivatives extension 'wikiAtHome'. Also in the nearish future I should be working on sequencer support, multi-lingual timed text for video subtitles / annotations, SVG parametrization, and finishing up the javascript language packaging system support for template parameters ( early version here: http://prototype.wikimedia.org/s-2/js2/mwEmbed/tests/testLang.html (only English showed but some progress has been made on a general cldr interpreter) More general overview of media projects efforts is available here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Media_Projects_Overview peace, michael _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
