OK, I have made a start on the image and video sections. I'm no expert though,
so I suspect it'd be best to open this up to crowds who know this material
better than we do.
Anyway, this is a digression from my original question, Rufus, which was: do
you want to help specifically with the Co-Op campaign? As well as each of us
pursuing our own open format campaigns in our own Universities / companies /
etc. we can all come together and target the Co-Op with a co-ordinated
approach.
So far we have a few anecdotal snippets about which browsers work with which
Co-Op banking sites, a few suggestions of targets, and little else. Let's
really work this through:
