Hi everyone, After giving Voiceover a days work worth of effort I was skeptical that people could use it for day to day tasks, but you guys have convinced me otherwise.
There seems to be general consensus that there needs to be a central resource for a voiceover users guide created by the knowledge of this list. A day after posting an offer to create one, there has been good support for having such a central resource, the only concerns were about who should set it up. Darcy & Holly have the domain and technology to create a central resource, but it may not be soon. Personally, I know that Drupal and most of the community apps are fairly tricky to get set up. Travis also could, but doesn't think the list would be happy with that. I don't think a forum would be suitable when you have a good email list, a wiki is quite different. I would suggest that it's best to get something going now, content wise, and so long as it's in a reasonable format (such as XHTML, which it would be,) it could be transfered to anything later. Tim Kilburn, Bruce Bailey and others have some great stuff they would be willing to contribute to get things going, so how about we get this started now? I could set up a group editable wiki, get some of the known content up, suggest a structure for the documents there, and we could have a first draft ready in a couple of weeks. After that, I would suggest that the list decides where to go from there. If everything is placed under a creative commons license such as the "Attribution-ShareAlike" one, there is nothing anyone could do to prevent progress, or take the content without attribution to the author: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ My preferred implementation is PHPwiki because of the wiki syntax (http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/), but MoinMoin (http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/) and MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki) are other options. If Darcy and Holly would like to take over I would be very happy to hand it over - for me that would be much easier than what they are trying to accomplish, but would help fill a temporary gap. If I set this up, are there any objections? Regards, -Alastair
