Still looking, but saw this on The Signal today http://archiveguide.witness.org/ made by the organization WITNESS WITNESS <http://witness.org/>, the human rights advocacy organization, has become expert in communicating complex technical information in a simple manner. WITNESS empowers people by teaching them how to use video as a tool to document human rights abuses and how to preserve digital video so they can use it to corroborate their story when the time is right. Their audience — who may or may not be technologically savvy – often comes to WITNESS in times of crisis, when they need *immediate* expertise and guidance.
