While I agree with Leigh's inferred sentiments about Brian. This promotion begs a question for me. Should we be focusing on high bandwidth content at this time? Given what I perceive as the mission of WE to focus more on the developing world shouldn't our focus be on low bandwidth content?

Hi WE friends, These are tough challenges. My personal view is that we should try to promote and support both low bandwidth and high bandwidth approaches in our collective mission-- with one caveat, that is to find creative ways of transforming high bandwidth solutions for low-bandwidth

Hi Leigh -- Your video RSS feeds from Blip TV are very impressive! Would you consider developing a tutorial for WikiEducators on how to do this. We still need a tutorial on the rss extension -- and the video can be a sub-section. So holding thumbs that you will consider taking this on.

Blip.tv has a feature where you can custom the display size of the video. It has a great number of other features as well - including support for Creative Commons, and the ability to cross upload to Archive.org It is at Archive.org where they have the technology to create CDs and books quickly.
