Before I get ahead of myself, let me warn ya: I am very new to this and should be treated as a novice with no skills (haven't written in ages). My background in programing is rather limited and mainly was a hodgepodge of tinkering with forth, python, and the commodore 64 when I was a kid/young teen but for a variety of reasons dropped and what skills I had severely atrophied.

I guess that is a bit odd for a novice and I know a bit more of the lingo but I only have been just barely trying to get myself back into any of it for stuff like this. A simple script kitty at best, LOL.

>For the storing/distribution format (at least for YT videos) I think the best would be to parse the JSON comments to some HTML file where we will also embed the archived video.
>This one is not as thought out as the packaging but I think that it would be good to make the archive decentralized so anyone can help. I was thinking of some torrent system with some permanent seeds who would be backing it up but we should probably solve some standardized packaging first.
Wow, that does sound cool.

My thoughts for /go/ in general was having stuff in little zip packages for distribution and easy set up if one chan/site I set up was to fall.

A html page or better yet, a bunch of html pages with comments in little zip files that could be divvied into sections sounds awesome. I am right now dealing with family so I am not sure how soon it'll be but I would like to try to make a crude mock up of what that would sort of look like I really stress this, crude mockup

>Well when I look back at my post (which was supposed to be much shorter), I think I'm starting to understand...
Yeah, it wasn't really intentional so much as organically arose. Don't worry about keeping your posts long to blend in to the board, just let what flows flow. Long or short.
