Hi folks, 

We'd like to invite you to join a discussion on Commons about our upcoming Media Viewer!

Media Viewer is a new feature that aims to improve the multimedia viewing experience on Wikipedia, Commons and MediaWiki sites, to display images in larger size and with less clutter. (1)

This feature is under development by the Wikimedia Foundation's new multimedia team (2), with the goal to have a first beta version ready for testing at the end of October 2013, as part of our new Beta Features program. (3)

Media Viewer was designed in collaboration with community members like you, through a series of discussions held over video conferencing, IRC and in person at Wikimania, in roundtables like this one. (4)

We would like to know what you think of this feature, to help us improve it over time, based on your feedback. 

After you've read more about this feature, we invite you to join our online discussion on Commons. (5)

Hope to see you there!

Fabrice
