Over the last year, a number of things have led to a tangled mess of tasks that need to be done that were blocked on other tasks that were complicated by the fact that I had half-done a bunch of things. I've been chipping away at various aspects of things, but most of them were blocked on me finishing infrastructure changes I started in November when we moved everything to Rackspace.

I finally got my local pyvideo environment working and a staging environment working. I finally sorted out my postgres issues, so I've got backups and restores working (yes--I test restores). I finally fixed all the problems with my deploy script so I can deploy when I want to and can do it reliably.

Now that I've got all that working, I pushed changes to the footer recognizing that Sheila and I are co-adminning (and have been for some time) and that Rackspace is graciously hosting pyvideo.

In the queue of things to do:

• finish up some changes to richard and then update pyvideo to the latest richard
• re-encode all the .flv files I have from blip.tv into something more HTML5-palatable (I could use help with this--my encoding-fu sucks)
• fix other blip.tv metadata fallout--for example most of the PyGotham videos have terrible metadata (my fault)
• continue working on process and tools to make pyvideo easier to contribute to

That about covers it for this status report.
