We have/had already discussed hosting it all ourselves (my favorite
idea) but that would take a lot of resources that we aren't sure we can
get or would be worth getting.

Don't get me wrong all of our videos are great and so are the people
that make them but at this would take a lot of bandwidth and a lot of
space (believe me I know I have an HTML5 video page that hosts Theora
files)

With Mozilla, Google, and Opera all supporting HTML with Theora we can
dump the vids on Archive.org (henceforth a.o I'm tried to typing the
whole thing out)  we can have both (software) Freedom and cool embedded
videos.

Agree that Youtube is a juggernaut and we can't leave them out but they
should be in the second phase of this.  Let's stop bickering and get to
work on a.o and then we can bring this all back up when the time draws
nearer.
