Greetings -- and welcome to our multimedia list! 

As discussed last week on the Wikivideo-l list, all 90+ subscribers to that Wikivideo-l list have now been added to this new Multimedia mailing list.

The purpose of this new 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.  

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.

In coming days, we will start posting here about some of our first plans for new multimedia features and infrastructure improvements, and hope to improve these plans and software tools with your help. 

We welcome your comments, but please be civil and only post on the topic of multimedia. To contribute to this list, all you need to do is send an email to <multimedia@lists.wikimedia.org>.

You can manage your subscription to this list on this page:
