Hate the intro. Also, the usability of the player sucks
In Chrome you can’t move around at all within the player. In IE7 doesn’t work well at all, then suddenly you end up on the Podango site.
Interesting discussion, though they were a bit wrong to say that Commons is only for “encyclopaedic content” – not true. By definition, Commons is for content that is useful to projects other than just Wikipedia.
