Abstract

How can we improve the multimedia experience on Wikipedia and its sister sites? In this session, we will present our vision for multimedia in coming years, as well as provide an update on new media tools under development by the Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia team.

We will give an overview of our recent work and upcoming tools under consideration for improving both the user experience and technical infrastructure:

We will present our vision for multimedia, then focus on current projects, and identify some of the next tasks we're considering, based on community feedback from m:Roundtables/our roundtable discussions. (Updated slides coming soon, based on this recent project review meeting.)
