I suppose one important question is are you suggesting that this be done, or are you looking for support for something you want to (re-)start doing?

If you want to start creating tutorials, app review videos etc. again then that's fantastic.

I like the idea of a downloads-style "fresh"/"hot" and potentially voting. Suggested approach:

• Videos get created and put on YouTube, in a particular channel (as you did with tablet school)
• A wiki page gets created in a particular category, embedding the video with a boilerplate template.
• Anyone can come along and comment on the video (on the "discussion" page)
• Anyone can come along and transcribe the video into text.
• We can do some simple RSS feeds/MediaWiki plugins for pulling out the highest rated/most viewed/newest videos on the channel, and create an index page to the wiki category.

Is this a compromise which destroys the concept, or a tangible proposition we can get around which doesn't require developing a whole new infrastructure (or, god forbid, a new midgard module ;-))

Are you thinking that the Maemo 5 lead device might be popular and this might be needed? Earlier, though, you said that video wasn't a problem because all Maemo users would have broadband. If it's for the large influx of users expected with the Maemo 5 devices, that may not hold true much longer.
