Google Summer of Code 08 will start accepting applications Monday, March 24, 2008. I have submitted a few metavid related project ideas under the xiph and wikipedia foundation organizations and offered to mentor them.
Google’s Summer of Code is a great program, as a student in summer of code 06 I worked on early video integration for mediaWiki. It was a positive experience and got me more involved with free/open source software. If your a student interested in open media I recommend you take a look at the many great project ideas for xiph foundation. There are lots of other great projects and organizations to work with as well.

One of metaivds participants (dale) has been accepted into summer of code. I will be working on the video components of mediaWiki. Initially work will be focused on integrating ogg theora video plugin support into the mediaWiki framework. After which I will be working on integrating dynamic segmentation reference and templating streams so that close captions can be written in a variety of languages and annotated with relevant references. I will have a write up that explains these features in greater detail shortly 
For now check out my early post having to do with mediaWiki integration.

we have installed the mediaWiki wiki software. (The same software that runs wikipedia) We have started to look at ways to integrate the metavid base capture data into a wiki environment. Here is a sample page outputted from the metavid application. I still have to write some mediaWiki extensions to handle externally hosted images and perhaps figure out a ways to structure this data with either with templates or more extensions that makes the metadata accessible. Also I will add in cross links to the person information.
