Hi Joseph, If I recall correctly, there is also an issue of privacy and cookies with such as external websites. I must admit i'm not sharing the same extremist point of view of privacy concern as others within the movement are sharing. But as I know there is a big issues around that with many of the editors, I think it's worth to mention it.
But aside of that. Youtube it's a commercial website, why do we directing traffic to Youtube and not for example - embedding the live video on a post on our blog (as I know we can't embed it on Wiki) - and then would benefit from driving traffic to our own sites as well as avoiding (a direct) privacy issues (as there is also using of cookies when you embed videos) *Regards,Itzik Edri* Chairperson, Wikimedia Israel +972-54-5878078 | http://www.wikimedia.org.il Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment!
