Thinking of ways we can help promote WordCamps that choose to have streams of their sessions.

Ran through a little admin stuff and some brainstorming for ideas, including filtering through the WP.org forums looking for ideas and opportunities.

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.

Michael and I have been talking about this forever. Check in with Noel… there were some technical reasons why it didn’t happen with v1.

Noel Jackson
The technical reason was automating this. It was an extra planning stage at that point. But, manually creating a page is no problem, someone just needs to plan out the videos and then I can make sure they display nicely.

Cool – glad we’re on the same page here. The original WPTV spec was all about courses, and Jane and I have been discussing it a lot since, but we made some sacrifices to agile development and getting things moving early on I think. It’s certainly something I’d like to have as the central focus of v.2, and perhaps hacked in the interim with list pages/the “playlist” concept
I’ll fill you in on some of the things we’ve discussed next time we chat, Ryan, and try and dig up the archives for you to have a look at.

There’s no technical reason you can’t make a page with a bunch of videos embedded on it.

Sounds good – I guess it’s then just adding some kind of nav item for people to get to it via, and maybe some signposting of the different page content. Also – would be good to use the .com equivalent of the Picture-in-Place plugin, as loading a bunch of videos into the browser at once might slow down page loads a fair bit on slower connections/processors?

Matt
I would do the simplest possible thing first, and then see if it’s worth it to invest more.

Maybe lists with stills linking out to images and relevant support page linking in that case. Discussing with Ryan and pooling our thoughts on the most efficient solution

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

Awesome – I’m loving seeing the subtitles option on some of the videos now – definitely bloggable

Michael Pick, 
I have an idea in my brain for giving people “courses” of WordPress.tv content—videos arranged in a more-or-less sequential order showing people how to do very specific things. We have a lot of this content already and most of it seems to be up-to-date.
