Pedro, thanks for all your efforts! I heard that Wikipedia just launched its own 3D file storage, functioning in the similar fashion as their other files (community curated images/sounds/videos, proper license and attribution, and file version control). Do you see your site being in a direct competition, or somehow helping each other and cooperating for the common good? I doubt WMF will implement much functionality for the OMS-specific goals at this stage.
Thanks!
