Re: Embedding Videos and Slides

Would this idea fit under the existing Tutorials section, where conversation and feedback can exist as normal comments, resources (videos, PDFs etc) can be linked to in the tutorial content?

"integrate a link to PM per slide into the PDF"

Is one link per slide appropriate? Wouldn't one link per presentation suffice? If the links were the same I think that this may be overkill.

"Another is to embed Youtube videos in a thread start here like reddit does."

IMHO a simple link to a video would be better, allowing users to choose how to view it rather than auto loading (if this is what you intend) a video. From experience this would also be better for low end devices in terms or resource usage.

If the links were the same I think that this may be overkill Well the idea is that you get a deep backlink with the subthread, i.e. you jump directly into the discussed slide. People might come via a search engine to a subthread and can navigate directly to the slide (or video time mark). This needs to be prepared. > IMHO a simple link to a video would be better, allowing users to choose how to view it rather than auto loading (if this is what you intend) a video.

Hmm, this should be configurable ... default could be to just show a pic from the first slide from slideshare or youtube and after clicking the embedding might be started. A prototype for this should be pretty easy realizable with a nodelet-hack. I.e. after finding a link to YT or SS a preview or embed might be loaded, according to privat options set in the free nodelet.
