I think that it could be done pretty simply in a couple ways. 1.) a form that allows visitors to submit url's to youtube, revver, dailmotion or other video sites. The submissions would go out to a list of moderators for review. The Mod's would be user's in your blog software and simply post a new entry with that video. Then perhaps there could be an open system for adding meta-data/ tags. None of this would be terribly hard.

I *think* that I can grant users moderator access to add videos to the 'olpc' group, which contains kid-friendly content and is used to populate the embedded-ogg olpc.dailymotion.com. But I don't know if that's a preferred method. Dailymotion has been very friendly to OLPC and would likely be open to suggestions. What do you have in mind? --Seth
