Extension:Media Viewer/About/gl



O Visor multimedia ten como obxectivo mellorar a experiencia de visualización multimedia na Wikipedia, Commons e sitios de MediaWiki, para amosar imaxes en tamaño grande e con menos limitacións. Está sendo desenvolvido pola Fundación Wikimedia new multimedia team e pretende ter unha primeira versión beta listo para probas a principios de novembro de 2013, como parte do noso novo Beta Features programa.

Despois de ter a oportunidade de probalo, conforme é descrito embaixo, estamos convidados a participar na discusión. Espero velo a vostede alí!

Por que o Media View?
O obxectivo desta ferramenta é a seguinte:
 * Proporcionar unha experiencia multimedia máis rica, para corresponder ás expectativas dos usuarios
 * Mostrar imaxes en tamaño grande, na mesma páxina, como a miniatura na que faga clic
 * Reducir a confusión cando os usuarios fan click en Thumbnails (bypass duplica a páxina de información de arquivos nas Wikipedias)

Destínase a servir a tódolos usuarios da Wikipedia, Commons e outros sitios na MediaWiki (incluíndo novos usuarios, así como editores moi activos). Nótese que este visor multimedia será inicialmente para ser só empregado con imaxes fixas, como agora estamos a usar o reprodutor de vídeo Kaltura para audio e vídeo. Pero co tempo, nós queremos utilizar a mesma interface de usuario a través de players e, finalmente, utilizar un único visor para tódolos formatos de ficheiro.

As características actuais inclúen:
 * Mostrar imaxes en grande, vista previa a medio panel cando fai clic sobre elas
 * A Modalidade panel abre como superposición (na mesma páxina onde premeu)
 * Imaxe Grande aparece sen desorde (vexa Lightbox)
 * Á Información sobre a imaxe pódese acceder facilmente (en vista Lightbox)
 * A Imaxe pode ser amosada en modo de pantalla completa (exhibición en pantalla completa)

Como traballa o visor Media?




O visor multimedia ofrece dous puntos de vista diferentes dunha imaxe cando fai clic na súa miniatura nunha páxina do artigo: Lightbox e Full Screen View.

Lightbox View
The 'lightbox view' for this tool includes:

The image is shown in large size, as an overlay over the page where you clicked on the thumbnail, against a white, slightly translucent background. This makes the image stand out more and removes some of the visual clutter typically found on a text-heavy page.
 * Image

For the first release, we are offering these simple tools:
 * Tools
 * Close button (goes back to article view)
 * Full screen button (expands into full-screen view)
 * Lightbox button (returns to smaller image in browser lightbox)

Here is the information that is shown above the image (see mockup):
 * Primary Info
 * File name (Zonotrichia atricapilla)
 * Author (e.g. Alejandro Erickson)
 * Source (e.g. Bird Institute)
 * License Info (e.g. CC-BY-SA-2.0) (or link to license info)

Here is the information that is shown below the image:
 * Secondary Info
 * Site name and link (e.g. Wikimedia Commons)
 * Description
 * Uploader name (e.g. Smallbones)
 * Creation Date (e.g. 12 April, 2012)

Full Screen View
The 'full-screen view' for this tool will show a large image across the entire screen, with minimal information and buttons available on hover, as shown in this mockup.

This is the view that lets you focus exclusively on the image, with no other distractions. When you click on the full screen icon, you see the largest version of the image that fits within the user's screen. The image is displayed across the entire screen (not just the browser window), set against a pure white background color that only shows the image. In this mode, you only see the file name and the author/source/license near the image, as well as link to Commons.

First Release
A first beta version of Media Viewer will be released in early November, as part of Beta Features, a new experimental program that will enable users to opt-in to test new beta features before they are released widely.

In the first release, the Media Viewer will only support the most widely used image file formats (e.g.: JPEG, GIF, PNG). It also only works when users click on thumbnails in the article namespace. (In future releases, we plan to also enable Media Viewer in galleries and category pages, and support for PDF, TIFF, SVG, as well as audio and video file formats).

How you can help


Can you help us test Media Viewer in coming days? This beta feature is now available for early testing by logged-in users on MediaWiki.org and on TestWiki. ''[Note: Should be deployed on Thu. Oct 31 by 12pm PT, if all goes well]''

To test this feature, check the box next to 'Media Viewer' in the new BetaFeatures section of your user preferences — and click 'Save' (see screenshot). You can turn off any this options anytime, by reversing these steps. To make it easier for you, a small 'Beta' link will show up next to 'Preferences' in your personal menu when this extension is released worldwide in early November.

Try out Media Viewer and let us know what you think on |this discussion page. If you find any technical bugs, please report them here on Bugzilla. Based on your feedback, we will improve this feature in coming weeks.

For now, we are still in early stages of development on this feature and our work in progress can be viewed on this alpha site.
