U r quite right that the Scandinavians r very much ahead on this front.
Well done on the Sp and Portuguese TV but I'm not sure about the term 'Latino'...certainly it suggests from a European point of view that it is only concerned with Latin America and in Spain it is more commonly used in association with pop music from that region! Maybe 'Hispanic' would be better? But I think you need advice from both Latin Americans and European Spanish and Portuguese to be sure...Otherwise it might sound offensive?... |

sorry, that should read Roberto Perez

and regarding HD videos, the professional version does, havent costed it yet, but it does...

maybe you are right about the Nordic thing, however I still think its worth doing, there is a lot of social democratic knowledge and practice locked in Nordic languages.
regarding the Spanish (Portugese, and others) I started there
via a friend I have approached Roberto Sanchez from The Power of Community to take-on editorial of www.Permaculture.TV

Most scandinavians don't have a problem with English from what I've seen. A Spanish TV would be good because it will also tap into the Latin American audience and there are a lot of interesting permaculture initiatives going on in that region.

hi at the moment I am using the Mogulus platform and there is no reason why it cant accept Spanish videos.. they can be uploaded, sourced from YouTube, RSS feeds etc...
the obvious question is how to structure the site... i.e. what words etc... it would be possible to create different entry portals... i.e. en.permaculture.tv for English, es.permaculture.tv for Spanish etc... I'd also like to tap the Scandanavian community.. was just in Sweden for the ESF and there is a small but vibrant PC community there |

Great idea for a site! I will put a link to it on What We Grow soon :-) Especially liked the video about the Dreamblocker...
|
|
like Spanish, for example?
