In reply to: Potential ww.wp.xz.cn Improvement ProjectsWordPress is great, but User-UnFriendly.
An Improvement Project is something I would like to participate in.BUT FIRST:
Before I provide consultation and potential intellectual value to WordPress I want to be sure that the organization is reputable. I guess it is a non-profit since it’s .ORG
But where can members find the organization’s ByLaws? Who is running WP? What degree of transparency does the Board promote? What financial accountability do they have? Who or what owns the intellectual property?
If it is all reasonably good and beneficial for the member then, one more question: How is this being protected into the future?Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: WordPress needs Basic User Friendly ManualAfter wasting days on related video posting issues, this is what I wrote to a Plug-in author today.
Am I missing something! Like a User Manual? Or are users expected to chase the author.
By the way, I find WP in general, un-necessarily difficult to learn.
EG: I believe my problem posting the News videos [DemocracyNow! and PBS NewsHour] was because I was trying to post two videos in one Post (I guess). I separated them into two Posts and copied and pasted the embed code in the HTML window – Now they both work!!
But why is such a basic limitation not easily found or jumping up for the user somehow?Forum: Everything else WordPress

But why is such a basic limitation not easily found or jumping up for the user somehow?I know this is not a Viper issue being that PBS NewsHour (and Democracy Now!) are not a Viper video type…
I did copy and paste both embed code into the one HTML window – Results: the NewsHours video showed up as a yellow block with no controls or anything, and DemocracyNow! didn’t show up at all !
Can you tell me what’s up, or direct me to WordPress help?
thanks.OK – thanks for the info Alex. I will use Viper’s for YouTube and cut and paste for NewsHour etc. –
I only see YouTube, DailyMotion, Vimeo, Veoh, Blip.tv. icon buttons arrive.
But Viper’s says the following are also supported:
Veoh
Viddler
Metacafe
Blip.tv
VideoPress aka WordPress.com Video NEW!
Flickr videos
Spike.com/IFILM
MySpaceTV

As well as these file types:Flash Video Files (FLV)
QuickTime (MOV, etc.)
Generic video files (AVI, MPEG, WMV, etc.)Where do I get info on how to embed them with Vipers?
