Good Word about D than the blog, and I really want to make more
use of it.
The blog is good for explaining technical material, and has a lot
of value because of Google, but I agree YouTube is better for
evangelizing.
Time is always the downer, though. So I'll be begging for
contributed content (like I used to beg for guest posts on the
blog) after DConf Online.
One suggestion I have is that the format of PLTalk by Jean Yang
might be a good fit when you want to get others involved. If
you're not familiar with it, she has a Zoom chat with someone,
that person demos whatever they're talking about, and she asks
clarifying questions. She records the talk and uploads it to
YouTube. Here's an example that would work well for short demos
of changes to the language/new libraries/whatever:

You might have other plans, but it's one way to reduce the cost
for yourself and for others.
