Laura, thanks for your insight into this. I also worried about the generic "ogg" container and not knowing exactly whether it was audio or video, without digging deeper into the metadata.
Now that we have WebM, how much do things change? An interesting thing IMHO is that pages with videos are much more prominent in Google results: it would be very nice if someone measured the impact on pageviews of adding a video on Wikipedia articles. As for measuring, the easiest way is probably to ask a list of user videos at https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/DBQ and add them to a tracking category. GLAMourous etc. may then be used to track stats.
Since there seems to be interest, here's a pointer to the video project planning page and please do feel to add/markup/edit. The plan is to execute a video gathering/production project in March/April.
Good, I see it's going on. "WebM not used by video pros/tools" really? Does nobody upload to YouTube? Are they all on Vimeo or what?
