Honestly, I find the "not in the annual plan" thing more damning than the
actual issue at hand.
The core competency of WMF is supposed to be keeping the site running. WMF
does a lot of things, some of them very useful, others less so, but at its
core its mission is to keep the site going. Everythi
for byte duplicates (really most
of the time those should use file redirects).

Thanks Jonas for experimenting with this sort of thing. I always wished we
did something with preceptual hashes internally in addition to the sha1
hashes we do currently.

given that in a single day there's already been almost 20,000 new

of them. I'm really quite surprised how fast the transcoding is
proceeding.

That's (part of) the intent.

I've experimented with various methods of non-hovering. See
http://tools.wmflabs.org/bawolff/gallery/index.php?title=Main_Page for
different op
and could
easily be replaced with something triggered on hover.
Even in encyclopedic contexts, a gallery is used as a collection of pretty
pictures, and the caption is a sort of "see also" text to provide further
context for if one of the images catches the reader's eye.

(Possibly could be dealt with with js. Would involve a bit
of double loading the images though).
A demo speaks louder than words, hence:

d is not black and white: some
limited censorship might be a good thing (or might not), but lets

Just my two cents (and heck I have almost no contribs to commons, so
take what I say however you want)

p.s. (Not responding to any email specifically). Everyone's argum
ourse you'd only be able to use
the actual category name in [[category:Foo]] links. I suppose one
could use a bot to automatically change links to redirect categories
to their canonical name, but then we're getting really really hacky).
Anyways, just a thought.

It's amazing how different this conversation sounds when you compare

applet as a back up if no native support. (like we do for ogg).
the java vrml players were java applets that displayed 3d things,
hence i assume they could be used as a backup (I have no idea if thats
true or not). The point of it being java is that people wouldn't have
to download plugin

e a plugin
called shout3D and another one called BLAXXUN3D which could render a
limited subset of vrml with java. However its very doubtful they'd be

Hi Commoners far and wide:
Although it is lesser known, we at Wikinews (english edition) also
have a picture of the year competition. Basically the focus is on
choosing an image that is both pretty and is newsworthy. All
Wikimedians with greater than 50 edits, and have had an account since
Jan 10
eople would see it in spanish, the chinese
people in chinese, etc.
