What are you going to do about storage?

What progress have you made in the 3 years you've worked on it, cause it dosen't sound like much?

A feature that would be nice is searching speaches so could quary John Bohner and the work Bonner to hear about Bohners bonner from Bohner, or something like that.

I think the best initial approach will be to leave storage to the current major players (eg. YouTube). The first iteration would be a database of metadata and links to the content. This would drastically reduce the cost and complexity of the project, while allowing the benefit of using highly available, existing systems.

I have not been working on this specific project for three years. I have prototyped out some of the interface and worked on some data models. I have also been spending time working on other, not necessarily related, projects that I feel are also important. Many of these projects share common problems (mainly, the entire stack; from the back-end services, to network engineering, to front-end development). I have a pretty decent base project for web front-end work built up now, where I can easily begin development on new projects or prototypes in a near state-of-the-art environment. Additionally, I have been working on tools to launch and run everything necessary to host these projects on any of the cloud providers or, really, any collection of networked Linux machines.

I think searching is a must. C-SPAN already provides some transcripts and I think YouTube does too, but I think human editable transcripts will also be required. I know that similar systems already exist. Shows like The Daily Show record television channels 24/7 to record and search through the media to find their content. The awesome thing about what we can do on the web now, is that anyone with a web browser will effectively be able to run their own Daily Show, incorporating existing media and live streams...all in a browser...broadcasted all over the world.

Such a system would require the hoster to be impartial, hasn't YouTube proven that incorrect recently if they removed a link then you would need a backup to reupload it while that backup dosen't need to be weblinked it still means that you would need to have access to some storage. Running a search algorithim for terms would likly require at the least the trasnscripts to be hosted on your site for proccessing speed.

Really what you need is funding, maybe kickstarter/go fund me? But you would need a demo system working before then.

So what is your stack? And what languages are you using?

I'm a partical type of guy and hate Google like interviews ;-)
