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?
