Please don't forget wikisource needs - t.i. djvu
files support. :-)

Good point.
We propose to take on support for other file formats like djvu, pdf and a/v in Q4, once
we’ve completed the structured data and upload wizard projects.

Hi,
• Q3: […] modal upload tools […]
Could you elaborate on what this term encompass? From the MediaWiki pages, I gather that
this is about providing upload/multimedia bits & pieces to be used in other tools like
VE or the mobile site? What would be these bits and pieces exactly? Would they be made
only to be used by Wikimedia tools, or should we see it as libraires to build stuff
outside (like, for example, desktop upload tools, or image editing software addons) ?
The goal of this project is to make it easier to upload media from other places than the
main upload wizard on Commons. For example, you should be able to upload a file from an
article that needs more pictures, using a modal tool that pops up over that page.
Here are some early mockups from the upload wizard planning slides (#21-25):
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=File:Upload_Wizard_Slides.pdf&a…
So this would consist of modular code and a user interface for basic upload functions on
our sites, as well as cross-wiki upload support.
Initially, we would focus on supporting the needs of other product teams that need this
tool, starting with the Visual Editor, Flow and/or Mobile. Once we have it up and running
for these first projects, we will evaluate their usefulness for other projects as well.
We appreciate your forward-looking invitation to provide libraries for using this tool
outside WMF features (e.g. desktop upload tools, or image editing software addons).
We hope you can join one of our upcoming discussions to help us define this product
further — with the understanding that we will need to move one step at a time :)
Thanks,

Jean-Frédéric
