[Hamara-devel] Mediawiki extension for embedding videos from different sites - Extension:EmbedVideo

[shirish]

Hi all,
I was looking for a way to show videos from within mediawiki but 
couldn't find a straight way,  as everything else, it needs an extension 
to do that.

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo

The bonus is that we get support of 24 sites at one go.

If we had this, then the net neutrality page would have shined. Another 
way to do that is to make a channel in Youtube channel in HamaraLinux 
and make 'Collections' therein.  So we could simply add all the video 
links within there and just share the list link on the wiki.

Another way would be to make collections of whatever net neutrality 
videos are there and have those collections under hamaralinux.org 
banner. See https://www.youtube.com/user/TheLinuxFoundation/videos as an 
example. The benefit would be that there would be a presence on the top 
5 video-sharing sites and as and when we publish videos/screencasts etc. 
done on hamara/for hamara and want to distribute, all of the 
infrastructure is already ready to be used.  The only downer is that the 
channel page (per-site) might need some sprucing up with hamara's branding.

Looking forward to feedback.
