Please forgive if this is the incorrect list to post my question. Also, I am not currently a member of this list, so will require a direct reply.
Basically, I'm curious to know if Wikipedia currently supports, or has plans to support video files in the future.
I am thinking about doing PhD work on "online biographical video learning objects"...and wondered if this maps at all w/ Wikipedia (past, present or future).
Also, please feel free to educate me on how I could have found this information out without spamming everyone.
Thanks!

It's possible to upload short video files to the wiki and link to them, but we don't have support for inline (embedded) video, and we've got a strict upload size limit.
For some discussion on possibilities, see: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_policy
