[Foundation-l] Video on youtube

[Brian McNeil]

This is great. A subtitled version is a great addition. I certainly prefer
this to the YouTube one.

ive uploaded the video to DotSub.  this allows people to add transcriptions
and subtitles/close captioning to the films meaning that it can be
internationalized into any language.  The videos at
http://dotsub.com/films/wikimedia2007/index.php and currently has the option
of English, English with subtitles and a French translation. I hope to also
put up the Italian and Dutch translations today but anyone can do it ;-).
This mirror is ad free and doesnt come up with the "Wikipedia Sucks" bits
either.  Hopefully this is better than the Youtube version.

Thanks

Mark
