Description

Video tutorials make it easy to understand how to do something new. There should be a single place to find all the video tutorials for Ubuntu.

Like Youtube, users can submit their own videos and rank each other's videos. The videos can be browsed by category (e.g. installation, networking, video-editing, administration etc)

We can make Ubuntu far more accessible by giving users a single place to find ubuntu videos.

UPDATE: Already implemented:
* http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/
* http://youtube.com/group/Ubuntu
* http://www.ubuntuvideo.com/

There are already thousands of Ubuntu videos on YouTube. Why duplicate the effort?

I have only come across a video on youtube ONCE when trying to doing something unfamiliar. It needs to be better than it is now.

Perhaps it's a way of indexing that is missing.

Where would you go to browse the categories: installation, networking, video-editing, administration?

Youtube is blocked in some areas

You mean like this one?

@peterjs
Thanks for pointing that out. Despite using ubuntu for years, I never heard of that website.

Is it just me or do they need to promote it a little more?
