Hey all,
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):
https://archive.org/pop/ <https://archive.org/pop/>
The repository is here:
https://github.com/mozilla/popcorn-editor
<https://github.com/mozilla/popcorn-editor>
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:
http://benrito.github.io/video-commons2016/
<http://benrito.github.io/video-commons2016/> 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:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Wikipedia…
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Wikipedia_Edit_2014.webm>
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.

Internet Archive has done some more work on it, I'll have to catch up on the current
state of things.

Hi Brion,
Is there any progress on this video editor?

One of the really cool ‘web maker’ projects that Mozilla sponsored in the last few years
was Popcorn Maker <https://popcorn.webmaker.org/>,
an in-browser video editor that could take direct video clips or videos
from Youtube etc and let you remix to your heart’s content. (See Ben’s blog post from
July <http://www.benmoskowitz.com/?p=1083> and Mike’s presentation on Air Mozilla
<https://air.mozilla.org/mnolan/>)
Obviously this capability is very attractive for the future of video on Wikipedia and
other Wikimedia sites!
Unfortunately Mozilla has to shuffle priorities, and Popcorn Maker is on the outs
<https://blog.webmaker.org/product-update-for-appmaker-and-popcorn-maker>.
Fortunately, there’s enough interest in the Wikimedia video world that we’re helping to
pick it up!
Popcorn Editor is a standalone version
<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%20concept>
and everything.
If you’re interested in helping out, we’re going to have some work sprints at
WikiConference USA <http://wikiconferenceusa.org/wiki/2015/Main_Page> next weekend
in Washington, DC. Please come and help out!
