So it is NOT A BAD IDEA to have a facebook "Like" button. In fact social networking is not a bad/evil thing IMO. It's a good way to share stuff (which is what they were intended to be doing in the first place). We need reach. So I support adding buttons for ANY popular social networking that comes to mind: FB, G+, Reddit, Digg, etc. And don't forget the Diaspora* button. :) And regarding videos: Promoting the use of free standards/formats is a good thing. In-fact it MUST be done. But I don't think we should be RESTRICTING videos to ONLY allow OGV or free formats. If there is a good video about some free software which has been uploaded in a non-free format, embed them as well. But if the video is being manually uploaded to the site, it would be a good idea to convert to OGV or WEBM or any similar free-format files before uploading. We needn't be so fussy about the formats when we are embedding stuff from Youtube, Vimeo, etc. That would be naive. -- Yogesh. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
