Greetings!
If you are interested in the Wikimedia Foundation's new multimedia initiative, we
would like to invite you to join our Multimedia mailing list, which we started earlier
this month.
The purpose of this mailing list is to discuss software tools that support the viewing,
contribution, curation, discovery and use of multimedia content on Wikipedia, Commons and
other MediaWiki projects.
Click here to learn more and subscribe to this multimedia list:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/multimedia
Participants include team members from the Wikimedia Foundation, as well as volunteers
from the Wikipedia, Commons and other wiki communities. We all share an interest in adding
images, sounds and videos to our free knowledge base.
And if you would like to chat live with our team, we also invite you to join our
multimedia IRC discussion this Thursday, August 22 at 18:00 UTC (11:00am PDT), on this
'office hours' channel: #wikimedia-office .
During this one-hour chat, we will talk about our plans for multimedia in the coming year,
as discussed during this Wikimania 2013 roundtable:

We would also like to discuss this proposed Media Viewer, as described here:

All the best,
Fabrice and the Multimedia Team
