It'd need to get packaged and we'd probably have to come up with some rules about the video sizes and how long we keep them as to not overload our servers. -Mike -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list

I agree about size rules but I don't like the idea of deleting: deleting part of release notes for old releases would be like deleting our history. Are you concerned about disk space or bandwidth consumption? Disk space can be addressed by having rules for upload size and the bandwidth consumption should not be big for old releases, with only a few visitors. Maybe archive old videos in external sources? -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list

And people make it a lot. Most people think they want it because they don't have to live with the consequences.

Actually a couple of weeks ago I needed for a project the wallpapers from old release (going to FC1) and was very useful to find the archives with RPMs. Not exactly FC3, but I searched for stuff in the release notes around FC6. If the release notes link to screencasts, it would be ugly to have broken links. Also, deleting, we may break existing links which are outside our control, like reviews or blogs. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list
