Re: [backstage] New backstage.bbc.co.uk website
How about some sort of matching service between people with the ideas and the people with a knowhow to implement them. You could for example open up the ideas section to more main stream sections of the bbc audience a kind of 'tell us what you want suggestion service'. Then based on that you put the best ideas to a public online vote. (giving some indication of demand) The final stage would be to make them happen by getting teams of techies involved (building a team based on the required skills).I know backstage does much of this already but it think the concept of voting for ideas and putting togther teams to build them would be a good addition. thoughts ??On 10/11/06, Gordon Joly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 15:55 +0100 10/10/06, Mr I Forrester wrote:Gordon Joly wrote:At 18:37 +0100 5/10/06, Brian Butterworth wrote:Perhaps there should be a 'tech' and 'no-tech' version of the site.

Re: [backstage] New backstage.bbc.co.uk website
Generally sounds good. I agree with Gareth that a wiki would be nice for documentation, especially as it would allow all of us to contribute. Obviously you would have to consider how to stop wiki spam though, which could be a major problem. You might also want an area to submit suggestions for new feeds or APIs, and I have to say I also quite like the ideas section on the old website, but it seems to have got too mixed up between ideas of things you can do with the current feeds/APIs and ideas for new feeds or APIs. Splitting those up but keeping both would be quite nice. If you are planning to have some Backstage events, please make sure they aren't all in London. I don't want to have to travel all the way from Bath for all of them :P Nice to see Backstage getting back on it's feet.

In deed, as stated before, I think it should be accessible to common people that do not have any programming skills and that may be able to mashup the feeds using some type of GUI.
