| Abstract | ||
|
This session will spark a discussion around the upcoming launch of collaborative video on Wikipedia. The Wikimedia Foundation has paved the way to openness and contributed more than any other entity to the knowledge of the crowd; the Foundation is now pushing the envelope even further by expanding the world's largest collaborative knowledge pool to include rich-media as well. Using Kaltura's open source video platform, Wikipedia users will be able to upload, remix, edit and collaborate in rich-media similarly to what they have done to date with text. In this session, we will discuss the potential of this new step in peer production, as well as the challenges, what it can mean for the community, the implications of this on fair use and how this can bring to the democratization of video across the globe. | ||
