The only thing I'd recommend against would be the yellow headers in the vid= eos page because they don't satisfy the WCAG 2.0 level AA contrast requirem= ents (one of my goals with the website design was to follow level AA guidel= ines at least). Now, personally, if I had the time, I would have designed the videos page i= n a similar way to the blog page, and also done something like this: * Add a "media" menu to the navbar with "screenshots" and "videos" items. * Add a "media" app that would hold the definitions for videos and screensh= ots (the latter would move from the base app). * Add a "tracks" field to the "video" record and a corresponding "track" re= cord type for future subtitles. * Add three video previews to the home page, below the screenshot previews,= maybe using a heading like "Instructional videos". * Add a new entry to the Help page, next to "GNU Guix Manual", with the sam= e "Instructional videos" title. > > > Especially since we now host the web site by ourselves, we could als= o=20 > > > host the videos there, so that can be pretty easy to do.=20 > > >=20 > > > WDYT?=20 > > >=20 > > > Ludo=E2=80=99.=20 > >=20 > > I cannot judge whether audio-video.gnu.org is better or worse than=20 > > berlin.=20 > >=20 > =20 > Putting the video files in the guix-artwork git repository may be=20 > wrong, so the patch does not do that yet, instead still referencing=20 > archive.org which seems wrong too.=20 Is there any ethical issue with using archive.org that I'm not aware of? I = suggested Laura to upload videos there... In any case, since it is already possible, it would be great to use Guix ow= n hosting resources.
