Audio/video content

[psubhashish]

Video uploading option:

I cannot thank you all for adding this great option. AV content add a lot of value to linguistic content as accent and intonation are a the most important part of a language and that cannot be fully expressed in text. Can you also allow people to upload pre-recorded audio/video as some might have libraries of large volumes of words and would like to upload them? Users can choose to license the AV content along with the option that they would choose for the text (See #206 for licensing recommendations).

#Users should be allowed to download the AV content:
Right now, users can only upload but cannot download the content that they themselves and other people have uploaded. Can you please enable this option. Two open formats .webm and .flac are incredibly great formats for video and audio respectively. They not just retain the quality of the original file but also take very less space. For instance, a 4 Gig video can be shrunk to a 1GB video in .webm format without any loss in quality. Do consider about adding these options.

#Users should be allowed to embed other available videos that have the content needed on Poly
Other embeddable videos should be allowed to be used inside Poly. You probably need to highlight the fact that the users will be responsible about the copyright and hence they should avoid using copyrighted audio/video files. In case they find really valuable but copyrighted AV files, they should also be able to add them as resources. Right now, the "read more" or "Resources" section is missing and you might consider adding them.
