Yes, indeed.
Could you not start with this? A basic website and two mailinglists for devs
(there is already something like this..) and for users? I think this should
be the core and it would be great if you could set this up with some people.
After that you can see if you make wiki's and projectpages like you're
suggesting.
I get the feeling that the libopenvideo mailing list has already
achieved the communication aspect between developers.
It would be good to have a connection between the user and dev
mailinglist, e.g. that one consortium takes care of it, (for example
linuxvideo-dev-mailinglist and the linuxvideo-user-mailinglist).
It's true that there is already a sort of a devs list, but it is very
closed right now. You can't subscribe to it and can't search in the
archive. It would be good and necessarily to reorganize this malinglist
and make it open for everyone who wishes to join. But before this can
happen there should also be started a 'user' mailinglist to prevent
'useless' user discussion on that list.
So are we
talking about a well maintained site that links to all the open source
video projects, with a small description of each of them?
I think the core of such a website should be:

About the links to all the open source video projects, I think it is not
a core goal. But check this website, it's part of the project, but not
the core:
http://apps.linuxaudio.org/
The consortium linuxaudio.org has also members:
http://linuxaudio.org/members
And check further 'resources'
http://linuxaudio.org/resources
The other thing is a mailing list for general open source video
application users. That sounds like a good idea to me, and I'd be
happy to help set it up if someone has somewhere to host it?
Great. Make sure you communicate this very good with the dev
mailinglist. It would be good if 'we' could bundle this...
I don't know exactly how to setup a mailinglist, but if the most list I
know make use of this:
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/
Kind regards,
