Have you been
paying attention lately; our costs and our traffic are
growing exponentially.
Not forever.
I'm kind of assuming that at some point there will be YouTube-style videos
embedded in many pages - e.g. for [[Hummingbird]], there might be a video
which when you click play, will show you a hummingbird flying, and then
again slowed down to show the mechanics of its hovering flight; And for
[[Windsor Castle]] you might get a virtual tour of the highlights of the
castle; for [[Vladimir Putin]] you might get a subtitled excerpt of a
speech he's made; and so forth.
That'd probably impact on someone's bandwidth bill in a big way, although
it's in keeping with the "media" in "MediaWiki", and certainly in
keeping
with an encyclopedia for the 21st century.
All the best,
Nick.
