Perhaps a bit early of the roundup of the Wikidata Menu Challenge, but I think it is cool so I'll share it already. Some stats (thanks to André Costa for collecting it) on the 300 items in the challenge:
Month of the challenge (and a few days afterwards) (2015-05-08 - 2015-06-08): { "users": 183, "bytes_added": 1832120, "edits": 9057 }
To be compared with the month before the challenge: (2015-04-04 - 2015-05-01) { "users": 132, "bytes_added": 71879, "edits": 493 }

And we will need brion’s ogv.js https://brionv.com/misc/ogv.js/demo/
work
to support browsers without OGV/WebM support.
A couple updates on that front:
- It looks like it should be easy to integrate ogv.js into video.js as a
player tech.
- I have an early version of WebM decoding in JavaScript
<https://brionv.com/log/2015/06/07/im-in-ur-javascript-decoding-ur-webm/
working! It's much slower than Ogg but has higher video quality when there's CPU available for it, as on a fast desktop/laptop that's running Safari or IE without WebM drivers natively installed.
- I've also found a combination of free-but-crappy codec options that
works in iOS natively: AVI with Motion-JPEG video and uncompressed audio https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101716! To keep the bitrate sane we'll have to turn quality down, but 5fps and scratchy audio is often better
than
nothing. This will work at times when ogv.js can't be used, such as the embedded web browsers in iPhone apps that haven't updated to Apple's
latest
embedding APIs.
