Michael has long been working on MetaVid, based very heavily on Ogg Theora to ensure openness, and will be both improving our basic Ogg-playing capabilities and creating a truly open version of the online editing interfaces that Kaltura's current stuff provides.
Note that Wikimedia Commons could be one of the largest Theora-only video repositories on the net, particularly if/when we get enough backed-up disk space on the image server for Commons to really get into it. It'd be nice to say "Oh, your Nokia doesn't support Theora? Sucks to be you, looking up Wikipedia in the pub. You shoulda got an OpenMoko."
