What about [various insanity snipped] Flash
On a more serious note: when it comes to Flash on Wikimedia projects, the WMF board has said no.
In this modern age of HTML5 and so on, I wouldn't ever pick Flash as a technology the WMF should use going forward, but it could have helped us with some older browsers.
However, I'm not really complaining -- Flash has way too many issues for our projects. Even if you accept Adobe's claim to Flash now being an "open" technology, there are all sorts of other issues. Security, accessibility, take your pick. Plus it's better for us to put our full weight behind technologies that we *can* live with long term.
