OurMedia.org may serve as a nice home for the video for an ASL-English wikipedia. It seems to have no restrictions on video size. Wikipedia can house the English text and link to the video file at OurMedia. Also for the wiki in wikipedia. Consider a video file the same as an image file in wikipedia.In Wikipedia, an image file cannot be edited other than by replacement. A video could be "edited via replacement" the same way. Words and sentences in Wikipedia are also done this way. If I change "lion" to "king of the beasts" I have essentially edited via replacement. Hhamilton

So you are proposing that each word/sentance in ASL would have its own video file, and these are "joined" somehow, with instructions as to how they are joined coming from some kind of Wikitext? That might work.
PS. There /are/ image files which can be edited other than by replacement, they are called Scalable Vector Graphics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics).

Then what you're proposing really isn't a wiki. Ease of editing is what makes a wiki a wiki, and your "editing by replacement" that requires any edits to require rerecording the entire signed video is not "easy" by any stretch of the imagination.
On top of that, I'm still not clear on how a person with at most a 4th grade reading level is going to use the website.

So you actually want us to create a second Wikipedia in English, the only difference from the original Enlish one being links to external ASL videos, and you wonder why people oppose this idea?

Hoi, I think that Mark said it well when he mentioned that we should have an ASL wiki and not an English/ASL wiki. I wholeheartedly agree with him. Thanks, GerardM

Yeah, but to do that you're going to need an orthography for ASL.

Hoi, This is something the the people that want this wiki need to consider. It is not necessary for us to solve this.
I am happy with any orthography and any mediafiles in the Ultimate Wiktionary. Thanks, GerardM

We could always allow all of the existing ortographies and convert between them like we do between traditional and simplified Chinese.
