Just dreaming... even better than a list of links to recordings would be a
list of talks, where each talk has en entry such as:

Talk title:
Main speaker(s): 
Other speakers:
Slides/notes:
Audio:
Video:
Transcript:
Duration:
Venue/host information:
Date and time:

The easiest way to create and maintain this section would be to make it a
wiki.  There is a wiki being set up, but it's not ready yet.


More work to do is to think about the presentation.  Some people would be
happy with a plain, all-inclusive, list of 50 or 250 videos with the above
information.  Others won't like that the list includes talks which are not
so good, and some others will not like that a quarter of the total will be
near-duplicates (for example, Richard has 4 talks that he has given 100
times).

One improvement would be to add the ability to categorise the videos
("GPLv3", "software patents", "free software in public administration").

Another improvement would be to add a way to push the good videos to the top
- maybe an rating system where people can give a score to each video (or two
scores, one for content, one for recording quality).

What other things are possible?
