That sounds cool to me.  I think vimeo or youtube embeds would be enough.  Does anyone have any objections to having movies in the gallery?

Youtube or vimeo embeds would be straightforward.  Embedding raw videos using a video tag would also work but there might be codec/browser compatibility issues.

I just want to respond to Cameron's question about the gallery.  I don't think it should have to be in a published paper, but I would like it to highlight as much of yt's analysis functionality as possible.  There is often the temptation too fill it with a bunch of gorgeous renders, which are really impressive, but don't really give anyone the impression that yt is used for quantitative analysis.  The only real bar I was hoping for submissions is that they be something that was used in some sort of professional context.  This could be a paper, but also a talk, press release, outreach material, or anything that was actual used for a purpose other than just making something that's pretty.  In that sense, the gallery is basically a place to show off the niche that yt is serving in the real world.  Maybe this could even include embedded movies.  Would that be possible?

Everyone, please contribute!

Hi all,

I've updated based on, I think, all of the suggestions (except the
facebook button, which somebody else needs to get the code for and
send me) and updated both the deployment and the PR.  Nathan fixed the
images on the carousel, and I can't take credit for that.  :)

Any other feedback?
