Some documentarists who came to Wikimania last month are interested in developing ways for community members to develop their own documentaries and shorts from their raw footage. (~20 hours of film, including many interviews) They are also developing a piece of their own, but are increasingly excited about the idea of a "wikimentary" -- seeing what the community would do with the material.
On top of their material, Fuzheado captured a number of interviews with Wikimedians around the world, we have full video capture of around 20 sessions, we have a Public-Domain micro-documentary from Soufron, et al...
Some early discussion about a wikimentary : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimentary
There are lots of technical and interface issues to work out, some of which touch on boundaries we are already pushing when we share and collaborate on images and sound files. What audio/video projects on the projects should be alerted to this?

Thanks for pointing this out, Sj. I talked about a Wikimentary and the logistics thereof at Wikimania with Rory O'Connor (Globalvision) - but I'm just wondering, where has the talk taken place since then? Privately? Or on-wiki/list (commons-l)..?
Cormac / [[User:Cormaggio]], eh, ditto ;-)
Just to remember you that you can always see the wikimentary I did at wikimania :

Aha! Was it you who put the bug in his ear? Once Wikimentary gets added to the OED, etymologists will want to know. Talk has largely been by email and phone with Rory, as part of an older discussion of how progress with their own short documentary is coming. I've transcribed the relevant parts of all private conversations to that meta-page, so you can see there hasn't been all that much talk yet.
I'm trying to get Rory to edit wikis directly, but it's difficult. --Sj

Sadly, I can't claim this one, but I think it was just fresh in his mind when we had our discussion :-)

Ok, thanks. I think it is up to us to really show what a wiki can do in this respect - and then we'll have Rory hooked, line and sinker ;-)
