Samuel, if this turns out to be "one of
those nice ideas that isn't going
anywhere just because no one is working on it", would you mind if I took
over management of it as a part of my IEG project? I might also be able to
get others involved who are already interested in the video project, like
Anna Koval (cc'd here); we'll need a place to feature the videos anyway,
and if that site is available, maybe we could use it if that's ok with you?

@Heather - no worries! By the time you have a
look at the site again, it
should look complete. The back-end runs on GitHub
<https://github.com/wikimedia-asknot/suggestions> which means anyone
can propose changes, which we thought was in keeping with the Wikimedia
'ethic'.
@Pine - That would be great if you could! I'd like to see this being a
bit of a staple (if I do say so myself!) in the "hmmm, Wikipedia/media
seems like pretty awesome project, what can I do to help?" thought
processes which I'm sure many of our users have at some point.

Oh my gosh, I love that domain name. I'm not
sure who in WMF is in
charge of "growth" these days but I'd like them to get involved. I
don't
even know where to start asking in the org chart. If someone in Comms
(maybe Juliet?) can point me in the right direction I'll try to get this
moving. This site might be something that I feature in the upcoming video
series that I'm trying to put through IEG.
