Given we dont have screencasts.ubuntu.com and its by no means guaranteed
that we would, I would either:-

a) Wait, keeping the video to one side, and put the top and tail on it
when we are moved 
or
b) put the old URL in there, and we will endeavour to redirect the old
site to the new one (if we get it).

I would suggest we only point to one URL for screencasts themselves (the
other URLs to do with contributing aside) and use links on the
screencast site for people to subscribe to RSS feeds / podcasts. 

I dont intend to do anything with RSS/podcasting until we are settled on
a permanent home, so thats currently on the back burner, but will
happen.

Cheers,
Al.
