Hey multimedia lovers and fellow devs!

WMF legal seems happy with the state of the expired MP3 patents, so we've got drafts of a couple discussion prompts for two ends of "the MP3 problem":

Planning whether/how to restrict or add tooling to support review of MP3 file uploads:

Creating MP3 conversions of existing audio files for playback in Safari/IE/Edge/mobile:

I'd like us to be moving forward with these soon, so if there's any suggestions for or concerns about the discussion prompts before we start Officially Proposing Things To The Commons Community, please speak up!

(Both pages link to phab tickets, feel free to review or comment on those too.)
