It's no mystery that the org can be a bit daunting for people visiting it for the first time. "What the heck is ftp and why do I need to make this catalog entry thing if I want to post my video?" was my, and probably many people's, initial reaction. I know any editor worth their salt should not be daunted by this but the fact is that many are. So, I've been wondering. Why shouldn't we have a board specifically for youtube videos? This would serve as sort of an entry level org primer for newcomers. I can't imagine that it wouldn't increase general traffic on the site. This is just the basic idea. Obviously editors who know how to make a catalog entry would not post their videos. But for people who have only just heard of the site and aren't sure how to go about making their videos known right off the bat would be comfortable there. If they don't want to make the jump to the amv announcement board then that's up to them. Is this a bad idea? Heck, is this an old idea? Even if it is I think it deserves another look.
