@emanweb,

Nice comments, thanks for sharing. I just wanted to point out a couple things real quick:

Perhaps exposing the videos over an API…

There is an API available for WordPress.tv. It is pretty easy to use but not documented well. Hopefully we'll be able to provide documentation in the future.

...I often see the same featured video for weeks.

You're totally right on this. The fact is, we have a pretty small group of volunteers so it is challenging for us to manage to keep changing the content out. Also, we do not make content featured unless it meets a relatively high quality standard and there are periods of time where no new videos come in that meet that standard so we don't change the featured videos.

So, perhaps we should do a “training” section helping the other camps that do not have a budget for that but got volunteers.

This is an area we've been focusing on heavily in recent times. We're working on better documentation and hands on outreach to any and all event organizers who are handling video themselves. It has been a consistent problem since day 1 and we're doing everything we can to help events create better video. If you want to get involved in this effort, please let us know.

...Would be great also to refresh the contributor pages, make more attractive to people really “get involved”.

Are you referring to our Make site? This is where contributors to the TV team collaborate and we've been working hard on this site recently as well. If anyone is curious about what we do and how things are progressing, this is the place to go.

Having a page where we see the upload progress...

We've had a trac ticket open for this for a little while now. It is a challenging developer's task and our team of volunteers consists of few developers. That said, I'm confident that we'll be able to resolve it at some point.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
