 Replying to [comment:22 peterchester]:
 > Are you sure it makes since to make a 'media' widget instead of an image
 widget and a video widget and maybe an audio widget (not sure there's a
 lot of demand for an audio widget)?

 I think it makes sense. Images will probably be the most popular type of
 media to add, but I think it's simpler to start at once place and then
 pick the type of media you want to add (image, gallery, audio, video,
 etc.). Starting with images only though. I see the rest getting added over
 time.

 > For example, people often want to make the image link, to have alt text,
 and other image specific elements. I mean I suppose we could have admin
 fields for all those things and find a way to apply them to all media but
 i'm not sure it makes sense.

 You can get all of those settings through the media modal.
