Drupal Community Project and showcase

Announcement for the Drupal community...

This is to put forward a suggestion for the creation of a Drupal community project on a large scale for the service of the public, along the lines a Wikipedia project. This might be something to showcase Drupal's full potential. If you think it sounds cool we would like you to help build it.

The project entails gathering videos to do with universities worldwide, and weeding and sorting them according to subject matter, to provide a database of all available university-related media (mainly videos), and link together of all the world's universities on one (Drupal) website.

It's a website aggregating videos of every university in the world, and linking together all the world's universities. From that basic foundation there are many further possibilities that could be built. (There is no site linking every university in the world at the moment, and allowing for freedom of communication between them).

If you think it's a good idea or would like to help please contact me and we will open up our documentation. A project of this size would benefit from community input, and we hope that everyone who uses it can provide some input, from developers down to ordinary users. If the ball rolls we will just open the documentation publicly and let things take care of themselves. Perhaps in time we can even build something useful to the world community.

Thanks.

A very basic site is exampled at the link below.
www.univids.com

The site currently has about 14,000 videos from a few hundred universities. There is also a list of most of the world's universities, including website links to each.
The videos were hand harvested. With automation we would expect a number of videos in seven figures. We also have a list of worldwide universities (not yet uploaded) that is more definitive than the current, with attachments to each Facebook university network, which would open more possibilities and hopefully be totally inclusive of all the world's universities in all countries.
So that's the state of play.
