 The WPTV mod squad recently discussed the idea of adding a field
 specifically for a URL to presentation slides to the WPTV workflow. The
 reason for this is twofold:

 1. It would simplify and streamline the workflow for moderators by
 providing a more intuitive and faster mechanism for including a reference
 to a presentation's slides. Currently links to slides are manually created
 within `the_excerpt` which means they cannot be called directly (if that
 were desired at some point) and are also a nuisance for moderators to
 generate.
 2.  It would make it easier and more obvious to video submitters to
 include the URLs to slides in the first place.

 To that end, I just finished a proposed solution which I've attached and
 does the following:
 - Adds an additional field to the Submit a Video form
 - Posts that value to the `anon-upload.php` form so that moderators can
 approve it
 - Adds the value to a new custom field called `_wptv_slides_url` upon
 approval
 - Appends a link to `the_excerpt` using the prescribed format if a value
 exists

 Thanks for feedback and I'm certainly open to alternative solutions if my
 proposed course isn't ideal.
