It seems very valuable work is being done, and great success is being achieved. Kudos for your successful efforts!
I am wondering if automatically publishing any files uploaded might be problematic. You pointed out some folks had published material they had not intended to by uploading files. It will always be the case that files are mislabelled or mistakenly uploaded, and people may not discover this has happened until after the upload is complete. Certainly there may be discovered that material needs to be edited after it has been uploaded, from time to time. Requiring a separate decision to publish an uploaded file would prevent some accidental releases from happening, and I think this would be a benefit to your community, while not being difficult or costly to implement.
Thanks!
Thank you for the motivating words.
Yes. I'll integrate an option - Publish manually or Publish automatically - after upload.
With that user will have clear choice on what to be done for the uploaded video.
It's on my to-do list & I am working on it.
