Bearing in mind that this is just my personal opinion:

For video to be included in the official KDE docs, we'd keep the same 
procedure as for any content - it has to be committed by someone with a SVN 
account, although of course anyone could produce one and ask for it to be 
included.

For video that is to go on a website, I have no preference.

The way I'd envisage video tutorials fitting into the docs would be as an 
occasional feature that could show how a feature works, or how something can 
be set up, when a verbal description and a normal screenshot aren't the best 
way to explain. I'd like them to literally be *part* of the docs, ie to 
appear in an appropriate place in the HTML output, just like normal 
screenshots do now. Of course, that brings in the issue of what to do in 
situations when embedded flash/video can't be shown (non-flash browsers, PDF 
output), but we can deal with that later.

Regards,
Philip
