To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Message-ID: fbad4e140906121122i74a745b8lf48006fcbcdba336@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Summary: Google Chrome includes Ogg support for the <video> element. It also includes H.264 support. Fine, but ... they're also testing HTML5 YouTube *only* for H.264. Mike Shaver from Mozilla has fairly unambiguously asked Chris diBona from Google what the heck Google thinks it's doing: http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-June/020363.html Google appears to want Ogg support, but strictly as a sideline for H.264 support. Is there anyone around the Foundation who can ask them "wtf?" - d. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:54:04 -0700 From: Cary Bass cary@wikimedia.org Subject: [Foundation-l] Volunteer:Email response statistician To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org, English Wikipedia wikien-l@lists.wikimedia.org, wikipedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Message-ID: 4A32C06C.7040002@wikimedia.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, please see new volunteer position[1] for Email response (OTRS) statistician.

In the past years we've seen substantial semantic drift in the various localized/translated versions. Having the English version visible for consistent reference should help to avoid this. A two-column format should make it not-too-irritating. > We also need a technical way of flagging CC-BY-SA only content > (page_props?). No, we're not committing to any advanced tracking of GFDL; it's an obligation of re-users.
