Hey Subhashish, I think it's a great idea. In case people are thinking of recording such a video, I would love to help you edit and here are some suggestions for community members:
1) Put it on your next meetup agenda. Do it in the meetup itself 2) It could be one single person saying "I edit wikipedia" or a group. More than 1 is welcome 3) For editing purposes, it is better if you record video in room with LESS noise and MORE light 4) Try and keep video in MPEG, Avi or MP4, so that while editing we don't have to convert and lose quality. 5) You can use any normal digital camera, even your (iphone) camera :P Just try and minimize shaking.
