For gnome3.org or designing the videos?

Either one, but I see your point.  It's just a way to save bandwidth if we need to.  But really that's what youtube is for anyways.

 

For gnome3.org: I think that wouldn't work, you want to see them asap.

For designing: easier to share using people.gnome.org. Think it'll allow
more people to participate in the design of the videos (people might be
behind firewalls and so on)

I need to switch to F15 in order to get videos going.. my ubuntu box is too patched up to give the default gnome 3 experience at the moment.  Jason ha been going at it alone unfortunately.  I suppose I can try harder..

MAybe setup an area on 'ftp.gnome.org' where you can share stuff for max
30 days. If all the mirrors agree on this (atm only one, ftp.gnome.org),
we'd easily:
a) share stuff
b) be able to exclude it from the backups

Sure, that's fine with me..
