Whiteboard
[mpt] Developers shouldn't have to guess whether the topic they need help with (e.g. "Setting your app's security policy" or "Proxy network connections") is covered by a text tutorial or a video tutorial. Therefore, videos shouldn't be a separate section. It should be a media type that can be included in articles in topic-based sections.
* Developer.
* A new videos subsection under resources
* Separate page with videos
* Sections: Featured video, Get started videos, etc.
* The list of videos should (if possible) be automatically generated
* We want to update video thumbnails regularly
* We'll link to specific videos from other pages
* An article per video
* Video icon proposal: https:/
