Wikimedia and Kaltura are teaming up for a program that aims to bring rich-media collaboration to Wikipedia and other wiki websites

What Company is Offering:
Kaltura is a free online site for group video making. For the first time, users are given the ability to CREATE RICH MEDIA TOGETHER. Like the Wiki platform that enables users to collaborate on the creation of texts from any browser, Kaltura enables a group of users to collaborate on the creation of a video – or what they call a Kaltura.

How It Works:

Users who start a Kaltura choose its topic, pick a look for the Kaltura page, and invite friends to contribute video, music and photos to it. Then, they can even edit it together. The collaborative result can be viewed on Kaltura.com, downloaded for later use, and easily embedded on any site, blog or social network as a widget.

Creating a Kaltura is a great way to document events, to socialize with peers, to fansource, to strengthen ties of an online or offline group, and to meet and interact with exciting people who share similar interests.

Recent Updates:

Wikimedia and Kaltura are teaming up for a program that aims to bring rich-media collaboration to Wikipedia and other wiki websites. This specifically to collaboratively created video, audio, animations, slide shows, text and images, and looks to be an extension of the Open Source remixing program that Wikipedia announced about a month ago. Collaborative is key, seeing as this is a program through Wikimedia, and all. And Kaltura is all about collaborative creation as well.
