Hi Edouard,

We have a category on commons for some of the videos that need transcripts:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Videos_needing_subtitles

Its mostly screen casts maybe picking a few clips from there would be a good place to start. Also I think reaching out within the wikimedia community to make that category more well known could be helpful.

Hello Wikivideo list members,

I'm contacting you on the behalf of the Participatory Culture Foundation.
You might have heard of Universal Subtitles <http://universalsubtitles.org/>,
a project we are currently working that enables collaborative creation and
editing of subtitles for online video. Great for reaching an audience that
doesn't speak your language, or to improve accessibility for deaf and hard
of hearing users.

We're currently working on a list of social interest videos, as well as on a
page where deaf and hard of hearing users can suggest social videos they'd
like subtitled.  We are also working with organizations to ask what videos
they would like subbed. This is where you come in: it is a chance for
Wikivideo to get free captions and translations from volunteers.

So, if you'd like to send me links for one to four videos you'd like
captioned and translated, we'll get the ball rolling!

Best regards,

Ed
Participatory Culture Foundation
