This is wonderful!  We have now got the videos up on the GCompris channel on 
PeerTube at 

https://tube.kockatoo.org/w/8Bxt5AqirBV2RutAh1sjr6

We will post the YouTube links of the whole series on places like FB, Twitter 
and LinkedIn, and then PeerTube link on the Fediverse (Mastodon, Lemmy and 
PixelFed).

Cheers

Paul
