Create a curated youtube playlist #210

Open coke opened 12 months ago

There are a lot of youtube videos about Raku - let's create a youtube account with curated playlist(s) and link to those for resources.

Missed that someone already did this: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRuESFRW2Fa77XObvk7-BYVFwobZHdXdK

It needs to be updated to Raku from Perl 6, though.

That's me. I wrote an explanation of sorts about the channel and videos a few months ago in a series of comments in a reddit thread. I suggest anyone interested in what I had to say, and what I think I'd be willing to do, starts mid thread here, which I'll also quote in full below:

Huh. If anyone reading this is interested in creating a Raku youtube channel, I've just discovered a way you can get it off to a great start with very little effort. Read on...

Now I no longer feel anything about the situation that messed with my head in 2018 I have been able to think about it anew. The first thought that popped into my head was what about archive.org? Bingo! Looks like two captures (May 2019, May 2016) have the summaries I wrote for nearly 200 English language videos representing the best videos (imo) from 2008 through mid 2018.

So, a potentially useful outcome from me recalling that previously painful experience is that we have the playlist I created that includes about 200 English language videos spanning all but the last few months of the Rakudo Perl 6 era (2008 thru 2018), and now it's clear the summaries of their content that I lovingly crafted are also available on archive.org. (And there's my 5 best-of-the-year choices, 2014 through 2018.)

That said, I don't yet feel like working on the P6 channel/playlist and may never do so. Is anyone curating Raku videos? If not, is anyone interested in setting up a YT channel for Raku videos? I'd be willing to write some summaries using the same tweet-sized format as I did for the P6 videos, for what I consider to be the best new Raku videos, provided I didn't have to setup or deal with the channel. My guess is it will only take a few minutes for someone to setup a new YT channel (that's all I recall it taking when I set the P6 one up way back when) but I'm just not willing to do it myself, at least not in the short term.

And if someone has set one up, or does, there's a playlist/channel full of a decade's worth of P6 videos, complete with summaries of their content, that can be added to a new channel to quickly backfill it with 200 videos from mid 2018 backwards to 2008.

I could paste in the other comments, but that seems inappropriate to me. First, I don't want to overwhelm this issue, second, the rest of the comments in the reddit thread were written to respond to luuuzeta's comments, and third it didn't go anywhere, so maybe what I wrote was crap. So I think it's best I leave it at the above, and only respond further in this issue if someone reads the reddit thread first (because I don't yet think it was that crap), and then asks me specific questions here that aren't covered by the thread.
