[Wikimedia-l] RfC: Should we support MP4 Video on our sites?

[Andrew Lih]

James,

This is the first time I've ever heard the phrase "Wiktionary headwords" in
my life :)

I'm partial, but there's a very strong case that video in Wikipedia has a
large impact and interest level that justifies this much time on it.
