About how many videos total will there be? If it gets too big, I could
even just transcode them myself.

Fair enough.

Any plain old HTTP server. dlang.org, dconf.org, or even github since
you can easily direct link to the actual files (unless they've
changed that, but I don't think so). PDFs are small. I can mirror them
on my server too if you wanted to email them to me (user: nick1
domain: semitwist.com), or I can wait until they're all on slideshare
and grab them myself - I signed up for a dummy account (Yay
mailinator!! :) ). 

Slideshare doesn't seem to be too bad as an option for some people
(it beats the hell out of google docs), I just wouldn't stick
*exclusively* to online-viewer services, especially ones that require
either registration or high-end browser technologies just for a trivial
