Let's Get Video on Wikipedia

Connotea Imports 2012-07-31

Summary:

"Right now, very few articles on Wikipedia have videos. It’s time to change that! Starting now, you can be among the first people experimenting with the possibilities of collaborative video. Your contributions will shape the future of Wikipedia, making it a rich and dynamic source of high-quality educational content. You will also help spread free sharing of knowledge on the web. Plus, when you post a video to Wikipedia, you are also helping to promote open video. Wikipedia uses a 100% free and open source video stack powered by HTML5 and Theora. The articles are free to share and reuse, there’s no advertising, and the software that runs the site is free and open source....Let’s Get Video on Wikipedia is a collaboration of three non-profit organizations devoted to open video and free sharing of knowledge [Miro, the Open Video Alliance, and Mozilla Drumbeat]. Wikipedia video is powered by the Kaltura HTML5 media library."
