[pyvideo-data] Pytube using pytube/pyvideo-data

[will kahn-greene]

Oh noes! Sheila and I offered several times to help out with any work
being done at PyCon and never heard anything from anyone. Fixing
permissions issues is not hard, but no one mentioned the need to me.
Sheila had set up groups earlier this week, but I hadn't done anything
about it because there was no indication anyone would be interested on
this mailing list, in the IRC channel or in the github issue tracker.
 
I don't think it makes sense to have two master repositories around.
Given that you're going forward with yours, I'm inclined to throw in the
towel. Over the last few months, I tried pretty hard to bootstrap pyvideo-
data with the intention of passing it off to people who were involved.
It's been a disappointing journey. We've got a ton of people on this
mailing list, but it's pretty quiet. The IRC channel is quiet, too. The
github issue tracker is quiet.
 
After I ended pyvideo, I continued to spend time on pyvideo-data to
bootstrap it was because I think it's an important project. The data
is valuable for research on historical trends like diversity at
Python conferences. It's the only data set that's Python-centric and
makes it easier to find Python videos without requiring everyone to
post their videos on YouTube. I think it's important to build a site
on top of this data that makes the video accessible to people who are
otherwise disenfranchised using subtitles/captioning, downloadable
files, other formats (mp3 was a popular ask). I hope pytube  succeeds
in those things.
 
I'll catch up with Sheila at some point in the next few days, but I
think it makes sense to end pyvideo-data. If there's anything you need
me to do to finish things off or hand things over, let me know.
 
Good luck with the sprints!
