I don't use YouTube and I don't know about the formats of the content posted on it. I think it's Flash and maybe it can be viewed with a free flash player. GNASH comes to my mind, but I didn't test it yet. I suggested it, because it seams to have a nice structure of categorizing it's content through categories and tags. There are probably two problems with using YouTube: 1) YouTube is only for videos, not for transcripts, audio files, etc. 2) I suppose their terms of use will be too restrictive. But I didn't check. If these problems would not exist using YouTube could have some advantages: 1) We don't have to spend resources to implement our own system. 2) Putting content about Free Software on YouTube would be a good channel for distribution even outside of the FSFE community. I suggested it, because I thought it could provide some inspiration for who will implement the system on the fellowship site. Happy hacking!
