+1 great question. There are a lot of video archives we have access to that it would be great to work around with / convert into microtask challenges. For instance, the collection of Khan Acad. videos from 2008 before they changed their licensing to a non-commons-compatible one.
One good reason to ingest them into Commons rather than leaving them in other open-access archives online is that we could subtitle and then translate the subtitles (and then generate voiceovers in different languages) -- something few archives do.
