We made some great progress on the Internet Archive deployment, thanks to the
technical leadership of Tracey Jaquith at the Archive (she’s cc’d):
We’re all really eager to resume conversations about how to leverage this
work for the Wikimedia Commons.
Brion, Tracey, myself and a number of others were part of a meeting at NYU
last year:
One goal of that meeting was to get a better
sense of the ecosystemic opportunities for open video that we could unlock with the help
of public interest media orgs like WMF and the Archive.
If we can enable Victor’s use case below at some bigger scale, maybe envision
some WikiEdu-style supports to teachers, that would create more incentives for public
media producers, GLAMs, universities, MOOCs and others to contribute their video to the
commons. Peter Kaufman, who I know is on this list, has done a lot of great analysis for
education and public media donors on this.
We are planning on hosting a follow-up meeting in NYC or SF early this year;
would be great to have Wikimedian representation to help figure out how we might carry
this agenda forward. If anyone is interested in helping to organize or take part, please
let me know.
A group of us used to meet on this semi-regularly in 2015; perhaps we could
resume these meetings too...
Cheers,
Ben

Thanks -
I just got this deletion notice a minute ago:

and an online video editor would help enormously when i have a complex
montage and one little part gets flagged. If the sequence was online, anyone could modify
as-needed.

https://github.com/mozilla/popcorn-editor#readme of the Popcorn Maker editor tool, and I’m
going to be helping with integrating that into MediaWiki. We’ve got a milestone in the bug
tracker
https://github.com/mozilla/popcorn-editor/milestones/Wikimedia%20proof%20of… and
everything. [:)]
