adds support for webm to commons. If you check out the wikivideo-l and commons lists for some recent example YouTube to commons scripts. I know this is not super useful info right this second, but there is hope on the horizon.
How's Timed Media Handler (which will also allow WebM/VP8) going? ETA?
The code exists and has been revamped a few times in response to reviews, but I'm not sure whether there are actually any assigned resources for pushing it to production at this time.
Robla, Erik, can you clarify state on this? Is TMH deployment on the radar for the next few months, or does it still need to get put on the map? There's some notes on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/TimedMediaHandler/statusabout earlier discussion of a September-ish production test, but not sure if that's current.
