I write from Mexico, I use to work with deaf people as interpreters and translators from Spanish to Mexican Sign Language also do community work and research. If I can help count me out.

Very enthusiastic project you have here! I mean, creating a protocol to build in subtitles in desktop applications and web is not that easy. And how can you match the stand alone videos in internet (e.g. Youtube) to your subtitels? But I am sure you know what you are doing. Good luck I wish you. btw. wrote a post about your project in my german blog about screencasting and webvideo. greetz Hello guys. Very enthusiastic project you have here!

(which you have probably had already ;) 1. Assuming videos can have multiple subtitles (to deal with translation) so will multiples in one language have rating system attached so you can crowd-source the preferred ones? Likewise reporting/suspend/takedown technology for dubious versions? 2. Given popularity of Hitler subtitling, hope you going to build in some form of humour channel to allow creative anarchy and competitive humour for less serious sub-titlers ? Otherwise these people may swamp 'straight' sub-titling efforts? It will happen - so build it in to manage? Also could be useful for PR and driving interest? Great project idea…. just some thoughts..

Feature I would like: - Base manual collaborative subtitling on Youtube's automatic subtitling generation. This way, any user should be able to select any part of any subtitle and submit manual corrections. - People that submit subtitles and translations should be able to do it for payment. For example, very popular videos may have some fund to pay out for the high quality manual subtitling that is submitted by any users. Writing subtitles, translating subtitles is a lot of work, and you cannot expect subtitlers and translators to just work for free. For popular videos, the fund will increase to have the most perfect subtitles. If you click to submit just a few words, depending on how large a percentage it represents of the overall required work to subtitle the video, it may only pay out something like $0.001 per word or something like that, but there should be a system to thus reward work on this. I wonder though if Google isn't just going to release these features eventually anyways. Another aspect of subtitles that I would like, is automatic download of .srt files for DivX Movies. But that, I guess, is a different topic. This sound great. Feature I would like:
