Another step towards an open web -- Google's Chrome browser is going to support Theora video natively with the HTML5 video tag: http://blog.internetnews.com/skerner/2009/05/google-chrome-3-adds-html5.html http://codereview.chromium.org/115625/diff/1/2
(Mozilla has already committed to this--and funded some of our development of video support also!--and it looks like Opera will as well. Video site Dailymotion is now using open video as well: http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/?p=1312 )
If it weren't for Wikimedia using it, this work probably wouldn't have gone into enabling native browser support for it. So thanks to all for your work on this. :-)
Cheers, Kat

Welcome to the cool kids' table, Google! ;)

That is seriously good news and demonstrates Wikimedia's leadership in the field yet again.

This is awesome. Wikipedia can really use a lot more coverage of video and audio files.
Now if only Internet Explorer would do the same...

Very cool! Now if Chrome would only support Google's own toolbar I might start using it to do things besides watching video.

This is wonderful news -- it is a shame that it has to occur on such an abysmal browser though. - Chris
