we now have support for video objects:

http://beta.theosdf.org/?q=node/11

note we are not just using a youtube <embed /> tag in the free-text portion
of an article / blog post / etc. - this is a dedicated content type with a
video field.  this gives us significant power to list and filter content,
and to manage the display of video elements globally.  (if we used embed
tags, we would have none of these abilities.)

to add a video, go to 'Add Content' > 'Video'.
