A YLNT Idea
I’ve had this sitting on my hard drive for a while, but the Sleepy Adams’ mascot stirring from his slumber reminded me of it.
Joel and Jeff of the StackOverflow podcast get the community to transcribe episodes of their show. Apart from allowing those who can’t hear to also consume the show, this means that the show’s content is indexable and searchable.
I was thinking of setting up a similar thing for YLNT. It’d be a wiki, stylised (wikis don’t have to be ugly), with a bolt-on component that would make the transcripts look like screenplays. Wouldn’t that look cool? It would be this taken to the next level.
It wouldn’t be that hard. The difficulty would be in transcribing the backlog — there’s ≈ 35 episodes in the bank, but I think that myself and some intrepid volunteers from the YLNT Nation could pull it off. Plus, if we throw in some YLNT rewards for those in the Fun Bunch who contribute a lot, maybe that would incentivise people to get the job done.
Answers enabled, so you can tell me — is this an opportunitystake, or am I crazy?
