This article and its discussion page are for working out an OrthodoxWiki policy for approach to the use , categorization, or storage of Orthodox media content (i.e. audio and video files).
==Sister-site Proposal==
One model for us could be the Wikimedia Commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org). MediWiki is under rapid development and should soon have more robust support for media files than it already has now.
OrthodoxWiki pages could link directly to files on the sister site, where appropriate, leading to a relatively seamless streaming experience. (How would this be done? How does WikimediaCommons do it?)
Thinking this over a little more, I think this would be a great direction to move. Not just great, but practical. Things are also moving so fast, so I'm sure there will be many more great tools coming in the future. Getting things together now would basically enable us to be strategically placed for the future -- to build a library and strong user base in anticipation of a time, very soon to come, when this stuff will become more fully integrated into people's homes and lives.
