Hey Wikipedians,
Have you ever wondered why there isn't a video version of Wikipedia? It's 2017, streaming images and videos isn't a big deal but Wikipedia is still a predominantly a text-based encyclopedia.
* Okay, times up *
The reason for this is because videos once uploaded on the internet cannot be edited again and Wikipedia relies on being continuously edited.
We have cracked this problem and are building VideoWiki. VideoWiki is a free multi-media encyclopedia built by the people using VideoWiki Software. In simpler words, we are building the video version of Wikipedia.
You can enhance your Wikipedia articles and create a VideoWiki article by simply dragging and dropping images to the relevant Wikipedia text. You can check out the 1st ever VideoWiki article on Elon Musk as demo at - https://www.videowikipedia.org/
We will be launching VideoWiki in the next 3-4 months and would love your valuable feedback on the ease of use of the VideoWiki Software.
Will keep you updated with the progress and let you know when you can beta test the product.
Meanwhile, would love your thoughts and opinions on the demo multi-media article. Is it something you would love to see happen to all the Wikipedia articles?
Love, now and always,
Pratik Shetty
Creator of VideoWiki and a open-content enthusiast
