Okay, let's try and say it as a geek ;) The main idea would be to have:
- "everything is a cluster of nodes", meaning that we have but ANY traditional drupal content type can embed a streaming MP3 with the spoken text for the node, and/or a video.
- no fixed starting point (a node can be born as text and later add up video/picture/audio or as any of the other formats)
- a "multimedia cluster" should start to stream its audio content (if present) as soon as it's navigated to.
- a "cluster" should have audio links streaming audio help texts
- a "cluster" should be able to have split storage points (ex. Amazon S3 for everything but text, text on the the drupal machine)
- there SHOULD be a way to launch a sound recorder from the browser... not very security oriented, but then again we speak about people who cannot read and write. It should be VERY simple to hear and to answer with other audio content (maybe skype??)

Let's dream for a while... but pls let's also be realistic. We can find a bit of funding, but what we want is something simple, and mostly something that we will be able to maintain ourselves.
