I mentioned earlier that I wanted to discuss open standards and file formats in advance of the next board meeting.
Send a message to the public W3C-list, signed by you and Brion, that the Wikimedia Foundation wishes to hold a six-month discussion phase on which free, open video standard to use on MediaWiki and the Foundations wikis. State that you want all the browser guys involved in that discussion because you want this standard to be natively implemented in all consumer browsers within 18 months from now. Send it out as a press release as well.
The Foundation is a big boy now and can make such demands.
Ciao Henning
Wikipedia is big when it comes to text. Video and sound less so.
