[documentation] Video documentation

[Thom]

I like the videocasts, I've watched several of them and want to watch a few
more. 

 

Here's the list of Drupal video repositories from the 4.7 screencast
overview page.  If you look in the comments for the following page, you'll
see that people are still adding links to videos as recently as last week.

casts.

Subject: [documentation] Video documentation

 

I would like to know if drupal.org 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.

 

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.

 

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?
