[IMC-Video] indymedia video drupal test system

[hamish]

Its good to see the video indymedia project getting back on its feet (:

Some thoughts: Mashing everything up into one big feed is problematic 
using MIRO it is much better to use oneclick installs and add the feeds 
sepretly in folders. Then the users are impowerd to deside what they 
recive by adding and removing feeds rather than a centralized group - 
centraliseing things is allwayes problematic not to say bad. Miro works 
well with multabel feeds I have over 60 on my copy - and I can fine tune 
how each feed works.

The advantage of merging feeds together is when nobody would ever find 
the feed or they publish so infrqantly that you need a few together to 
make the feed vierbal, evern then if one become bussey I would take it 
out of the mashup and add it as a separate feed in its owen right.

Feeds impower users to manage there expirence, best not to take this 
power away with out need, instead use one-click installs in miro (they 
install multubal RSS feeds with one click). They aren't perfect but they 
keep the user empowered (:
