Hoi, To celebrate the 5000th word of nl:wiktionary, I have uploaded 100 .ogg files to Commons. These are Dutch words pronounced by me. While doing this excercise, I have written a blurp about sound and how to handle it on Wikimedia. The piece is still in Dutch, it is still in nl:wiktionary, but I have asked the nl:wikipedia crowd to review it. When this is done, I will translate it in English and post it in Meta ? en:Wikipedia ? Please let me know..
One thing that is non obvious is that a sound file is supposed to be an image; the name for a *sound* file is: "Image:Title.ogg". Can this be changed to be Sound or something ??
I have read the posts about Firefox and the problems that we have supporting Internet Explorer. Would it be an idea to suggest that Wikimedia is best experienced with Firefox / Opera / .. I am myself a fan of Firefox, it really increases my productivity using two screens with 9 tabs on average. That is what the Firefox experience is for me :) Seriously though, when we do not allow MP3, would it not make equally good sense to suggest that our content is best experienced not using IE ?? Needless to say, we would continue the support for IE !!
It only needs to be a small statement on our main page or on our user portal ...
Thanks, GerardM
