They're all on there [1], aren't they?

Yeah I agree with that. What I would like to avoid is turning it into
a community site that features any old screencast someone might have
cooked up.

The other thing is that it would be good to avoid having yet another
news channel. In the recent past we have used the youtube account for
hosting but embedded the videos in our websites. That still seems the
right way to go, unless we can guarantee a regular stream of new
content on the channel.

Speaking of videos, it's time we retired the ones Jason made. It would
be great to have some replacements!
