I thought about this too. I wanted something like:

- /guix/media/: list video and audio recordings from presentations.
- /guix/media/ITEM/: show the ITEM with transcription.

Transcriptions are a huge job though. But I'm sure Guix will gain 
contributors that will help with things like these in the future.

I like that idea.

I wish I could help, but I can't right now. All I can do is take note of 
this and hopefully come back later with some design proposals :)
