There is certainly a need to have a page(s) (e.g. on lchc.ucsd.edu) where the material is listed, organised, and described. Abstracts of the talks are needed, because on vimeo we have only a few lines to describe the content. But that page I think cannot be on vimeo.com. vimeo does have a blog capacity, and I think David Kellogg is so far the only person who has made use of it.
Were we to go down that road, issues that arise are (1) Keeping the information up to date as new videos are added, (2) Having the authority to categorise and prioritise videos. At the moment, the other side of lack of organisation and information, is that the vimeo page is very egalitarian and democratic. :)

Wow, Andy-- I had no idea that so many interesting videos had already been collected alreaduy, and just in time for Natalia's class!! Now THAT I call a bit of superbe international collective action!! A well oiled machine, a sleek and swift social organism..... One question. Might there be a way of people being able to see the list of all the topics as they open the page, or a single button they could press that brings up the list? As it is, people might overlook at LOT of interest, and that problem will just get worse as the collection becomes richer. mike PS_ For those who wonder what I am talking about, check out http://vimeo.com/groups/39473/videos/15209886 _______________________________________________ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
