[task #15654] Webpage for videos introducing Maneage

[Boud Roukema]

Follow-up Comment #1, task #15654 (project reproduce):

The long-term option for hosting videos would be to host
a peertube instance [1]. For example, our first maneage video
is now also hosted at:

https://peertube.live/videos/watch/862f11c4-d63d-4484-b81c-81206ccfc14d

A peertube instance would be federated through the ActivityPub
protocol [2] with other peertube instances, and the creation of 
accounts on the maneage server would best be strongly moderated. 
On peertube.live, where I just created an account and uploaded 
_862f11c4-d63d-4484-b81c-81206ccfc14d_ , aka 
http://git.maneage.org/videos.git/commit/?id=d10b58d9e 
but reformatted slightly to satisfy the 100 Mb/day upload
limit to ordinary peertube.live users like me. It seems that the
upload of a 70 Mb h264 file was converted for internal server
purposes to another format (or multiple formats) of about 300 Mb.

For videos, this seems to me a better long-term solution than
git LFS. Of course, someone would have to maintain the server,
update it for security upgrades, and so on, and I'm *not* 
volunteering. The alternative is to use community peertube
servers, such as peertube.live, which lists 'science' as one
of its themes.
