<div style="">I would like to know if <a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">drupal.org</a> might consider coming up with a process of some sort for having people donate videos for documentation. I wanted to raise it first here on the docs list to see if this has already been discussed before (in a concrete we could do it this way or a "no" from infra) and what the feeling is about if/how we would do this before I even bothered raising the issue with infra. I have seen some discussion around it in the archives but nothing really substantive in terms of implementation ideas. I know that certain "sanctioned" videos for each new upgrade say are made available and apparently the dojo screencasts will be hosted by
d.o but those are pretty controlled circumstances.<div><div><br></div><div>My main thought behind looking at this is because of the desire to keep as much drupal help here at d.o rather than splintering. There seem to be a number of individuals that have created video tutorials on Drupal but they are all off the main
d.o path. My organization is going to let me give any training videos I create on the job back to the Drupal community but they don't want to host them (or even really be associated with them once released - long story). So how do I give these back to the community? One option is to open up the drupaldojo sites to host them but I don't see that as being a good solution, due to bandwidth issues (since individuals are hosting these sites) and the whole splintering issue again. I guess each time I create one I could go to infra and ask them and see what they say, but well that seems tedious for both myself and infra and doesn't really help with what to "do" with it in terms of the handbook even if infra is willing to host on the
d.o server.</div><div><br></div><div>So, if we were to propose something to d.o about this, what exactly would/should be the parameters? In saying "about this" I mean that instead of just individuals asking for videos to be hosted if they think to ask, that we actually come up with a standard process for people to submit videos and even advertise the fact on
d.o. Is this an idea worth pursuing at this time? How would it "integrate" into the existing handbook? Ideas, concerns, suggestions, STFUs?</div><br><div> <span style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
