Hello everyone on Wikimedia-l
My name is Victor, I am storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation in San Francisco, and I've been a volunteer editor since 2005: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Victorgrigas
I have an idea that I'd like to propose:
Since Wikipedia is open and collaborative, I thought that video collaboration should also be left open to the community, so I just wrote this on the Village Pump Idea Lab:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(idea_lab)#Community-Dri...
It is a proposal to create a forum where anyone can propose ideas that should be made into video. Those ideas can be polished and then a producer who is willing to volunteer (Wikipedian or otherwise) can read through scripts and produce the content they want to.
This forum would serve video production on Wikipedia generally, not just for the work that i'm doing.
Thanks for reading & I'd be happy to know your thoughts.
Victor- a lovely idea. Perhaps there are some subcommunities of wikimedians on youtube and other video-sites who could help with not just topical suggestions but potential videography suggestions...

Why not on Meta, or Outreach?

The discussion should take place on Meta or Outreach, certainly.
Finding people to encourage to share their ideas could involve looking beyond the current active Commons/Meta/Outreach contributors
