Could we add support for Twitter cards in Wikimedia
projects? It wouldn't
be hard to do and would would be really nice for articles, images, videos -
everything linked from Wikimedia on Twitter could have a nice little
preview on Twitter.
The documentation is at
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards - basically it
involves adding some meta tags around existing content server-side.
Looks like it would be pretty simple to do preview images for image/media
File: pages. For articles, some combination of extracting a portion of text
and using the PageImage extension for selecting a thumbnail image would
probably do the job.
We should also double-check on appropriate goodies for Facebook and other
major networks, and perhaps proper native oEmbed support.
Ah, fun. :)
