I set it up weeks ago and have been able to gather fairly little interest in it... thus my frustration with people insisting that we must use proprietary formats for ease of use.
I, and I assume most of those who saw it, thought it was an early demo
- not something ready to roll. I also wasn't aware it ran under GCJ as
well as proprietary Java.
As such, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? ROLL IT OUT! SOMETHING USABLE! IT SHOULD BE ON EVERY OGG IMAGE PAGE!
(The "about" will have to mention it works fine under GCJ and is Free-As-In-Stallman Software all the way down.)

The Vietnamese-language projects currently link to JOrbisPlayer on all its OGG description pages. [1] We use a hack in order to make this work: we have [[MediaWiki:Fileinfo]] call [[MediaWiki:Playfile]], passing the MIME type as a parameter. If anyone creates another OGG player on the Wikimedia Toolserver, we'd be happy to link to that as well.
