What we need.?

  • An API REST for publish and convert the videos (This is the major
    issue. we need a free converter for convert any format video in
    OGV,),ffmpeg is the best candidate, but we can't use it because not is
    in official Fedora repos, just is in rpmfusion... and Fedora infra
    only deploy applications via packages into epel6

    UPDATE: fedora infra not can deploy any package with patents issues or
    not FOSS related, or with propietary codecs. so, tools like ffmpeg and
    gstreamer not are welcomed into Fedora infra. So, it is better let to
    the user the task of convert the video, (i was discuss that with infra
    guys too) and just let upload ogv videos to the system.
  • A backend for manage the uploads, comments, and access level of the
    contributors.
  • A frontend, We are thinking in something like railscasts.com. but
    with a profile section where you can ask questions to the experienced
    contributors about thing on published videos.
