Wunderkit as collaboration hub for MSS
I have been playing around with the Wunderkit beta a bit and really like how you can organize projects, tasks and notes in a lightweight way.
Since they also recently made it completely free to use it there is no cost obstacle involved. It is still in beta and the features planned are really appealing.
I've added a space for us there at https://www.wunderkit.com/#/drupal-media-support-squad/profile. It is a public space so anyone can follow it if the want.

Use Flickr for image hosting for Media Gallery upload?
The Media module image gallery uploader is great: robust, multiple batch uploading.
However I would like to ask if a project is being considered whereby Flickr is used as the hosting of the images?
This would provide 2 benefits:
1) publishing content to a wider audience on more platforms without duplicate effort i.e. to the site and to flickr at the same time
2) reduced bandwidth and filespace used on the hosting - particularly for budget and shared hosting
Comparison between Media 1.x and 2.x
The major changes between Media 1.x and 2.x so far are the following:
- The File entity module which provides most of the underlying API has been moved to its own project at http://drupal.org/project/file_entity. When updating from 1.x to 2.x you'll need to ensure you download and enable this module separately. You will also need to ensure that the file_entity module included in the Media module directory is removed on update.

Use Entity references instead of file-fields?
I haven't studied the code for file-fields in any detail, so perhaps some of my assumptions are wrong.
But here are my assumptions, each one based on the previous:
