While I agreed with getting rid of it eventually, earlier in the week, I've had a 2nd thought about it. Once we've been able to contact tutorial authors, and invited them to upload their tutorials, I think we have to consider the fact that some will not be interested. In the case of videos which are just really good and worthwhile, but the author doesn't want to upload, maybe it would be providing a service to users, to have those at least linked on that page. I realize it's pretty ugly, at the moment. But of course we can do better, at least for the short term, until the tutorials gallery grows. I've been a bit under the weather myself, the last couple of days, so I need to touch base with Vardenis. Another thought I had. Video tutorial authors might be more inclined to upload videos, if they could upload small batches in one go, instead of one at a time. Would that be really hard to provide?

The idea of video embedding is really to collect resources and empower non-admins to add content. Tutorial videos or svg images, the only extra for videos is that they are links to a video site with a thumbnail instead of the actual video file. > But maybe that would be going too far? Nope, well within reason.
