I have create some software that takes the images from BBC news stories and provided a searchable database. However I had difficulty getting it live onto the web (problem with accessing a remote IP from my host). This is supposedly sorted now, however since then I've moved onto pastures anew. If there is sufficient demand then I'd happily upload Iris (as it's called) for people to play around with.

Where are the graphical or aurally re-purposed 'backstage' projects? I'm having great difficulty accessing any examples of ideas or prototypes that re-purpose bbc content that isn't text. About 10% of the population is functionally illiterate. Many people prefer graphics to text, and most of us, who are visually able, for instance use and understand the 'home button'. text news feeds are excellent for those that don't have access to graphics, but a newspaper without images doesn't seem to be popular at the present time. cheers Jonathan Chetwynd design consultant accessibility for people with learning difficulties recent reference: http://www.bsi-global.com/accessibility - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
