As a part of the engineering reorganization, will there be a multimedia
team within the readeship or power users groups? For some time I have been
hoping to get Wikipedia the ability to provide interactive visualizations.

There is a Multimedia team under Editing, and it includes Mark Holmquist of
the former Multimedia team as to lead engineer. The teams roadmap is in the
works, but 3D is something that's been coming up a lot lately, so the team
should be able to at least make some plans around figuring it out pretty

I'm also curious what our audio/video storage/transcoding/playback roadmap
is. IMO it's a pretty fundamental feature that isn't well supported in all
the clients (especially mobile). Could probably do some interesting audio
stuff (e.g. narration in many languages) for visually impaired.
On Mon,
While I know that doesn't sound fancy or attractive, I think the
multimedia team should have as one of its focuses to help with
transitioning to HHVM the imagescalers. There seem to be a few issues
with that and some support that won't just come out of goodwill, but
as a team commitment, would grea
The team has some hires, and there will be some needed focus on hiring at
least some of them as backend/MediaWiki core engineers. This is mostly
because we acknowledge the sizable backlog of tasks in that area as well as
the need to make improvements in that area to support future work.

I think the scope is multimedia contribution and curation. We will be
working with the reading and search teams to improve the presentation and

Hi all,
the multimedia team [1] had a chat about some architectural issues with
MultimediaViewer [2] today, and Robla has pointed out that we should
publish such discussions on wikitech-l to make sure we do no reinvent to

Hoi,
On the Wikidata roadmap it says that Commons will be targeted for inclusion
in the second half of 2014. This will have a big impact on Commons.
Consequently it will have a big impact on the things that you are
discussing. Chances are that much of what you come up with now will be
obsolete in

Hoi,
When Commons gets the Wikidata treatment, almost everything that has to do
with meta data will gain wikidata statements on the Wikidata item that
reflects a media file (sound photo movie no matter). When items refer to
"Creators" or "Institutions" they will refer to Wikidata proper.
This wil

Hoi,
Your assumption is that the metadata from Wikidata will be essentially the
same. It is not.
Because the metadata will be essentially different, I ask for attention. At
this moment in time all the metadata is essentially English. This will be
no longer the case with Wikidata. The data that is
