[documentation] Collecting Drupal presentations / videos / resources together in one sane place

[Kristof Van Tomme]

Hi George,

I'm not sure if you got my email, the only reference I see is about
the bookmarks.

What about
-multi-lingual resources?
-my offer to help?


-There is a big chance I'll be involved in the video team at the next
European Drupalcon (e.g. for sure if Maastricht wins, possibly if
Paris wins).
-I have access to the Szeged video material (we put it online).


But if you want to go it alone good luck =D

Cheers,
Kristof
