Videos Should Be Organized / Curated

[gbaz]

As per Chris we should kick off with a very friendly SPJ lecture or such, and perhaps one other very intro video. From there, we can curate a selection of good representative talks, and ideally some sort of social mechanism for continuing to curate them manually over time.

Very good! Possibly, as with the Events section (not yet added but was planned in the mockup), it could possibly be managed from a wiki page, eventually.

Some ideas:

1:22 PM <raek> sclv: two favorites of mine: pipes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jdJGdA7AYs and HsQML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCSxWfUvi6o
1:23 PM <zerokarmaleft> sclv: wadler has a lecture series up on youtube, doesn't he?
1:23 PM <raek> sclv: oh, and I also really liked the Pipes and Conduit episode of the Haskell Cast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn2Oc4vWoGg
1:24 PM <ReinH> sclv: Jekor's videos are good!
1:24 PM <mada> sclv: 'The Algebra of Algebraic Datatypes' was accessible and mindblowing to me as an absolute beginner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YScIPA8RbVE
 <zerokarmaleft> sclv: also SPJ's adventure with types series at oregon state, though the latter half of the series isn't so beginner-oriented
1:25 PM <edwardk> the main ones i'd like to see on the front page are Cowley's "Abstractions for the Functional Roboticist" from NY Haskell, and Ranjit Jhala's LiquidHaskell talk from Boston Haskell
1:26 PM <edwardk> both of those are very compelling and accessible to newcomers
1:26 PM <edwardk> Cowley's talk is the best selling point i've seen for haskell it shows how we can use these formal methods in all sorts of 'real world' ways
1:26 PM <edwardk> and the LiquidHaskell talk gives a sense of how you can reason about code with refinement types, but he's very careful to avoid losing newcomers along the way
1:28 PM <edwardk> And it doesn't hurt that Cowley's talk has flying robots and fancy conveyor belts and computer vision and motion planning and all the sexy things roboticists do

(jekor: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxj9UAX4Em-Ij4TKwKvo-SLp-Zbv-hB4B -- might be better under "Documentation")

It would be great if the videos could be marked as "beginner", "intermediate" and possibly even "advanced".

I think beginner videos are most important for this website, as people more acquainted with Haskell know where to find their infos and/or are look for specific topics.
