Another idea was thrown around previously about having a user centric
site with profiles containing portfolios and details of projects
members have worked on, tools and techniques they used etc. The idea
would be that e.g. an editor would have their work there and other
users could comment and ask for explainations, tutorials etc. This
could equally be applied to developers, screenwriters, sound
engineers, producers etc. and could possibly turn into a great place
to find teams of people to work on movie projects. If it worked out
really well it could even be a platform for raising money to make
particular movie projects and fund development of tools that were
largely felt to be missing from the open source toolset.
I am pretty confident I could put a site like that together with Drupal.
Does that sound like something people would like to get involved in?
To some extent the Vimeo cinelerra group has filled that gap for
cinelerra users, perhaps just using an existing site like that would
also work?
It could be a part of the plan, but this seems to be a bit offtopic.
We're talking here about a consortium who makes sure to bring linux
video developers and especially users (!) together. It should promote
Free video software and help users to find there way in the world of
linux video. Devs should help each other to improve the quality of the
apps. Users will give feedback to the devs and users should help each
other to make video projects. A main part of this consortium should be
the devs and user *mailinglists* imho.
Again: I would point to a pretty good example imho: www.linuxaudio.org
Could you not start with this? A basic website and two mailinglists for
devs (there is already something like this..) and for users? I think
this should be the core and it would be great if you could set this up
with some people. After that you can see if you make wiki's and
projectpages like you're suggesting.
Kind regards,
