Apologies for the mix up, and thanks for your work on this. For the short term, I think we should probably just use YouTube for hosting and embed Jason's videos in gnome3.org. It makes sense to have all the GNOME 3 content in one place. In the longer term, it would be nice to have a single URL for GNOME videos that we can point users to. That could be the YouTube channel, or it could be GMC. The advantage of the latter is that we can pull in videos hosted elsewhere. My concern (aside from a few web design niggles ;) ) is the sustainability of this option. Will - what happens if you disappear off the face of the planet?
