Thanks John, but to clarify:
Any institution can join the "consortium"; anyone who is in the system can create clips, but they must go through a training process and must follow our guidelines for creating clips (which involves tagging the vocabulary spoken in the clip). In the new version of the LFLFC (Library of Foreign Language Film Clips), which will be released in January, everyone will be able to create clips without doing the tagging work, but those clips will only be available to the creator of the clip. Only fully tagged clips will be available to all users.
Currently we have 17,000 clips in 26 languages in the database.
For details on accessing the LFLFCd, please send me an email.

Before doing anything with languages, be sure you can import and export as unicode. We had a project on omeka.net, and when we went to move it, the GitHub code they recommended to export our project did not support unicode.

Has anyone tried Omeka from George Mason U? (https://rrchnm.org/omekaplatform/ ).
Our College of Arts and Sciences IT folks help the Art History Department set it up, yet I have not yet done anything with it.
It serves many online collections' publishing needs, according to their website.

Subject: Question - RE: Repository to store "raw" data, i.e. videos, images for others to use
One of my colleagues who is a professor of Russian had an interesting inquiry. I told her I would ask the wise folks on LLTI. Thank you in advance. Here is her message:
Do you have any idea if we have a national or international repository for "raw" data (like videos, images etc.) for foreign languages?
There's a bunch in other fields, but I'm looking for something in FL that's like Open Context (https://opencontext.org/)
which is mostly for archaeology and related disciplines to store primary field research (and images, jpg files etc.) for others to search and use? It is like GitHub (for coding), but for images and research.
Do we have anything like that?
