To start: just making playlists of the episodes (Gheorghe has posted
his in 10 minute increments, which should be stitched together with a
Youtube playlist) and then making blog posts (or maybe posts of a
different Drupal content type).  Then we can make a Drupal view and
use it to make an RSS feed of video posts. 

We would post links to other sites (primarily Youtube, although
archive.org would be cute if we could get permission from the
videographers), not host content on kwlug.org .

Great! This project will probably take a little longer to get off the
ground. One place to start will be to document what is working about
the current site, and what should be changed. I have some of this in
my head but nothing written down on electrons. Other people might
have feedback as well. 

Other people are also welcome to help with one or both of these
projects.
