Thread:File sync with Commons; collaborative video editing (1)

Dear Jim,

Wayne mentioned that "if you use the identical file name of an image on the commons -- it will first prioritise local files of the same name -- if it doesn't it exist -- it will pull the commons image metadata in WE for serving on a WE page." and referred me to you for the technical details. Can you give me some pointers?

Besides, I have tested the OOImport today and find it useful, even though I rarely use OO. Do you know of a similar converter for TeX2wiki? I also intended to test the collaborative video editing feature today and set up a test page for that, but even the display of the videos does not work for me (nor of those at the gallery). I am on OS X 10.5.8 and have tried Firefox, Opera, Safari and Camino - all permanently display the rotating icon indicating "Buffering".

Thanks for your help!

Daniel
