Hi all,
Who is in charge to make the call for this to happen?
It just seems so necessary and yet, here we are. Video handling is not the
future, is the present, and that's just the beginning...
Cheers,

Absolutely. That has only become more true. (Happy new year, my friend.)

Yes, this is essential. Can be via a separate videowiki in the short term
(or NCcommons) if the WM Commons community is united in opposition.
2) Create an interactive media team with at least
two engineers, a
designer, and a project manager
3) Give this team a remit to rebuild *and
maintain in an ongoing
fashion* the existing TimedMediaHandler, Graphs, Score, 3D,
etc extensions
Yes. Just to coordinate + streamline all the development, design, and
coordination across the movement. It would likely save everyone time and
resources in the end, instead of so many half-focused groups and good ideas
hitting dead ends.
