I am very glad to see this movement. As a regular "viewer" and new contributor at WP.TV it would be great if we could not only have a re-design but also new features/functionality.

Jeff's idea to mimic YouTube design makes lots of sense, I wish we could have some of theirs main features also. Not only playlist but sorting, filtering and related videos. To be capable of subscribing to a presenter's videos or specific event would also be nice. Having the thumbnails with number of views/likes/date is a no brainer.

As Stephen pointed out, we need to move towards other viewing devices. Perhaps exposing the videos over an API...

On the content aspect, I would suggest to not keep the same featured videos for too long on the homepage. Even that I see many new videos added daily, I often see the same featured video for weeks.

As per the videos qualities (audio specially) it seem the WordCamps that invest in a paid professional to take care of the recording gets the best videos. So, perhaps we should do a "training" section helping the other camps that do not have a budget for that but got volunteers.

On the contributor side, Would be great also to refresh the contributor pages, make more attractive to people really "get involved".

Having a page where we see the upload progress, and/or have an FTP to upload new videos (or just a text field for the video URL), capability to suggest new tags/subcategories and a "tool tip" in each form field explaining and giving good examples are some of my suggestions.

Cheers
