The team has some hires, and there will be some needed focus on hiring at
least some of them as backend/MediaWiki core engineers. This is mostly
because we acknowledge the sizable backlog of tasks in that area as well as
the need to make improvements in that area to support future work.
I'll likely look to The Performance team to help with HHVM related
activities as well.

While I know that doesn't sound fancy or
attractive, I think the
multimedia team should have as one of its focuses to help with
transitioning to HHVM the imagescalers. There seem to be a few issues
with that and some support that won't just come out of goodwill, but
as a team commitment, would greatly help with that.
Cheers,

I'm also curious what our audio/video
storage/transcoding/playback
roadmap
is. IMO it's a pretty fundamental feature
that isn't well supported in

the clients (especially mobile). Could probably
do some interesting
audio
stuff (e.g. narration in many languages) for
visually impaired.
