Dries announce today, http://buytaert.net/drupal-8-code-freeze-december-1st-2012, that December 1st is feature freeze for Drupal 8.

That is in 9.5 months and if we are going to have a good chance of getting much needed file and media management into core, then we need to start working on what the goal is.

I'm not a coder, but I hardly believe it is as simple as just moving for example the File Entity module to /core/modules. Especially considering that when it is in core and 8.0 is out, very little will change.

Of course, there is also the small matter of what is happening with other initiatives such as CMI as WSCCI that both are very likely to affect file and media management.

I've added a bullet for this on tomorrows IRC meeting as well.

I think for the most part I'd like to target anything on the list of http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?issue_tags=Media%20Initia...

http://drupal.org/node/376287 is the big 'move file_entity' into core issue. But in order to do that we need to ensure that file_entity is cleaned up and "core appropriate". This work should depend on http://drupal.org/node/1361226 landing first

Otherwise my goals are pretty small but targeted to make the Media module easier to maintain and work with: revisiting or removing the automatic file usage deletion, improved stream wrappers and image styles, and simple HTML audio and video support.
