Hi,
I don't want to muddy the waters creating *more* work, but does anyone think
there is any value in creating transcripts from the video or audio? Is it
feasible that this could possibly be done with minimal manpower on our part
by hiring a typist to do it?
In my opinion, such transcripts, coupled with the slides, would provide much
of the benefit of the audio/video, plus are searchable / googleable.
I think the amount of work involved would be very high - let's take 3
days of talks with 3 streams and an average of 5 hours per day = 45
hours of speech to transcribe, and this would be costly
Maybe we could get it done in China, but I wouldn't vouch for the accuracy.
People can submit formal papers for publication if they wish,
otherwise slides plus audio should be very acceptable, and we may
struggle to get all that.
We can also encourage people to live-blog talks. After all it's
volunteer-driven and usually even if these are some scribbles people
might know a little bit what the talk was about and might have a URL
where they might find more information.
Moreover you get traffic to your blog :)
This also means that we need to prepare some slides explaining everything.
