I've been giving the de-specialized 2004 DVD project some major brain bandwidth over the last few weeks. What if we all pooled our resources and took parts of the official DVDs that bugged us the most and fixed them seperately. Then, we could periodically "release" a DVD with people's contributions added in. In cases where people have duplicated efforts, we could vote on the best clip to include in the completed movie. This could be a continually morphing project, kinda like Lucasfilm treats them, but with a slant toward reversing what has been done over the years.

This would require a major commitment of time, money and resources by everyone that chooses to get involved, but the end result would be worth the effort.

Here are a few things off the top of my head that we would need on top of each of us having the ability to edit video.

1. webhosting for works in progress and completed clips so that everyone could view and vote.

2. someone willing and able to peice the clips back into a full movie.

3. someone willing to distribute the results. (burn DVDs or Torrent)

Thoughts?
