These changes could make it easier for people to find them, I think. Note that video preview/thumbnail images will have to be created manually. Mark H Weaver says: --- For now, an easy improvement would be to include links to the above URLs from our Help page. However, I also found the old list of talks and papers to be easier to browse than the new method, and I wonder if it could be restored. For example, for those who prefer to see a video, it was easy to see at a glance on the old site which talks included videos, whereas on the new site one must apparently click on each individual talk to find out which ones come with videos. Ditto for slides. --- We can design the new pages and update current pages so that people browsing the summaries of posts, talks, etc. know if the full content of a given item contains video, slides, etc. With these changes, which I think I can start designing right now, I think it would not be necessary to list talks and papers in the Help section again. What do you think, Mark?
