Brion will be meeting Jake & Roger at IA this month (October 2015) to talk about a simplified pipeline for importing video from IA, which will probably be dependent on them setting up high-quality WebM derivative files on their end.

@brion: Was any output collected from that meeting in October 2015? How to proceed here?

Whoops, updates this bug must have fallen through my mail filters. Work is ongoing on this.

Current status as of yesterday's update call:
- I have done initial work on an upload-to-stash/convert/save-back pipeline for uploaded files to be processed by internal or external service before finalization
- could be used internally to, say, convert .docx to .odt or other such things too
- there's interest from IA in getting stuff from us with good metadata, which will be affected by structured metadata stuff in future
- even if we decide against using IA as upload-time conversion service, mirroring media data would be of great interest and deserves more exploration for keeping metadata synced etc
- once prototype's closer to public-testable we'll work out the WebM details
Should have patches ready for gerrit in a couple weeks, and moving my demo from a broken local VM to labs.
