[Bf-education] blendervideos.com rebuild

What funcionality was available on the blendervideos.com site?  I find
blender video tutorials the best way for me to learn, but I'm often
discouraged because more often than not, the tutorial i find is for an older
version of blender and is not forward compatible. I would find it very
valuable if there were a site that was devoted exclusively to having videos
created for the most recent release of blender.

So.... if you are starting from scratch, I would recommend that you publish
a "best practices" guide for creating blender tutorials.  Publish a series
of turotials on making blender tutorials and keep it sticky on top.  Example
Make Great Tutorials table of contents
1.  Which screen recorder to choose
2.  Annotating your doc (especially if you don't have audio)
3.  Pan, zoom etc.
4.  Audio recording tips
5.  Compression tips
6.  Publishing
    a.  Tags - always include version of blender
    b.  websites and groups listing of where to announce for   specific
blender topics

Did the old site have a way of commenting on videos the way youtube does?
Did you have an upload form?
