I got a late start tonight, so in keeping with a suggestion from my esteemed colleague, I’m finishing up one transcription after clearing comments and then taking it easy for an evening.

Ripping through older how-to’s for subtitles so things aren’t inconsistent.

Sketched out some basic course ideas and subbed the WordPress 2.8 intro video—and calling it a night.

Subtitles are up for the latest two videos; now working for a little while on cataloging what we have/don’t have and thinking about ways we can best organize and present some of the content.

Going back a bit into the past with some subtitling submissions—but not too far—while thinking of possibilities for organizing things more efficiently.

Comments long since moderated; got the final 1-Click installer video out of the transcription queue, and now working on a transcription that was 12% finished and abandoned (the bbPress integration video).

Also checked in briefly on the status of some of our WordCamp SF videos (waiting on those to come in) answering some questions that came in through email, including some users interested in sending us tutorials, and a handful of other odds and ends while uploading to dotSUB in the background.

Almost ready to call it a night.

Getting rocking a little earlier this evening. We’ll start with some moderation and then move on to some more of last night’s project.

I saw we’re providing more than one version for download in the RSS feed for the site. This is cool, but AFAIK I’ve never seen a feedcatcher that can efficiently handle more than one enclosure per item (it usually just grabs the first one available).

So, random thoughts based on this/making things easier all around:

• Since we’re already making multiple scaled versions available anyway, is it possible for the Flash player to have a “download” link embedded somewhere within it so people can get some take-out?
• We might do this and it’s not apparent, but is it possible to offer multiple feeds of different qualities in order to give people options? Some people might not want to download a gig and a quarter when a new WordCamp talk comes out. The HD feed would have to include the highest-possible conversion (sometimes HD isn’t available), and then a DVD-quality feed and a smaller feed (iPhone-sized?)

I’ll add to this list if I brainstorm anything additional today.

Now on to some more transcriptions and sweeping through some older stuff to make sure nothing has broken since it’s been uploaded/embedded.

Just finished up transcribing the BlackBerry app introduction video, but the subs aren’t showing in the VideoPress player yet – is there a window of time after which they normally would show?

There’s plenty more to get to tomorrow—I’ll check it in the morning. Michael, if you look at it and find something amiss, let me know as it’s late and my brain may be short-circuiting.
