Goodness yes. My 4yo loves videos of animals, and there's e.g. just
about no fish that can be filmed that someone hasn't filmed and put it
on YouTube. We should have that stuff.

The key thing is that this is highly wiki-friendly, i.e. even crappy
phone videos will be an improvement on nothing and we can improve from
there.

At that point, we can in fact keep to distributing unencumbered
formats and wait for the purveyors of mobile appliances to catch up.

So ... about having the technology to ingest anything ... how's that
coming along?
