Kaltura Sponsored Development for Wikimedia

July 25th, 2008

As you may have heard kaltura will be sponsoring the development of open source video integration features for wikimedia projects. The news is covered in wikimedias blog:

Michael will work on adding support for video editing operations and other video-related functionality to MediaWiki, with a rich user interface built entirely on open standards like Ogg Theora. Michael’s work priorities will be coordinated between Kaltura and WMF. I am hoping that we can make incremental improvements to Wikimedia’s video capabilities that will start to become visible to users soon.:-)

Hopefully someday soon we will be able to insert remixes of congress videos (among others) into wikipedia articles ;)
