Changes (by anna):
* priority: major => blocker
Old description:
> * merge steps to make this new Publish form one step only
>
> * implement upload progress bar, and allow user to add metadata while
> video is uploading
>
> * add a "Creator" field - the creator and/or copyright owner rather than
> the more granular "Director" or "Producer" (though what impact will this
> have on our archive of videos we have already collected?)
>
> * make most of the fields currently available in Step 1 (Director,
> Producer, Production Company etc.) appear in an "Advanced" section
> (hidden with Ajax until selected) to make the publish form less daunting
>
> Should we leave these changes until after we have specced out our UI re-
> design?
New description:
Changes to the publish form will be based on wireframes currently in draft
form here:
STEP 1 https://cacoo.com/diagrams/cJTnu33fvZDW6awm
STEP 2 https://cacoo.com/diagrams/DVWh4bsC7jvQLU3x
STEP 3 https://cacoo.com/diagrams/vindYlDdkliwK6b9
UPLOAD WIDGET https://cacoo.com/diagrams/q29RP4vsit1inEdM
Steps 1 & 2 will be attempted in this ticket, except for embedding videos
from other sites, which means changing the video content type (and the
video template) in a lot of ways. We will attempt this later, along with
functionality in Step 3.
The new publish form will be based on the current skin.
Most importantly we want to overhaul the way videos are uploaded and added
to Plone, in order to address stability issues that have been occurring
such as incomplete uploads.
In order to make uploading more reliable, we want to separate the
uploading process (the backend process, not the form) from the zope
servers. Zope servers get restarted every few days and are generally busy
collecting and serving many things. Our initial plan is to make the zope
servers WSGI applications and build another WSGI application from scratch,
that will manage the upload process. This will increase the reliability of
the upload process, as it will not be tied up to a specific zope instance.
It will also reduce strain on the zope servers by not having them wait for
large files to get uploaded. Moreover, we have to lay the groundwork for
the entire mechanism of the new upload form, e.g. structure, javascript,
AJAX saving and uploading etc.
