<big>'''SUMMARY''': After a long period of stagnation, video has come a long way in the Wikimedia movement in the last year. A visual content community has emerged and English Wikipedia has grown to more than 7,000 articles with video through efforts such as [[:en:Wikipedia:Wiki_Makes_Video|Wiki Makes Video]]. In 2015, there were two big breakthroughs with the creation of a "video editing server" prototype through the [[Wikipedia:WikiTV/Schnittserver/Specification|efforts of the German chapter]] and the launch of [https://brionv.com/log/tag/ogvjs/ ogvjs], a Javascript-based media player that allows for immediate Ogg Theora video playback in any modern browser.

In 2015, there have been big breakthroughs with the launch of [https://brionv.com/log/tag/ogvjs/ ogvjs], a Javascript-based media player that allows for immediate Ogg Theora video playback in any modern browser (made live on Wikimedia Commons in August 2015).

SUMMARY: In this session we describe how after a long period of stagnation, video has made huge strides in the Wikimedia movement the past year. A visual content community has emerged with English Wikipedia growing to more than 7,000 articles with video through efforts such as Wiki Makes Video. In 2015, there have been big breakthroughs with the launch of ogvjs, a Javascript-based media player that allows for immediate Ogg Theora video playback in any modern browser (made live on Wikimedia Commons in August 2015). It also marked the creation of a "video editing server" prototype through efforts of the German chapter to allow uploads of video of a variety of codecs and containers for conversion to open formats. We describe the technical and cultural obstacles in incorporating more video in the Wikimedia movement and discuss plans for the future that include working with the Mozilla Foundation and the Internet Archive for achieving the holy grail of wiki video creation – a fully distributed collaborative video editing ecosystem where anyone with a web browser can participate in timeline-based editing of video.

        • What do video equivalents of edit history, diffs, recent changes, et al. look like?
        • How are functions like logging, storyboarding or script writing supported in such a system?
        • What additional tools might video makers need to collaborate?
