Hi list,
we would like to propose a general concept for the engage player in the
upcoming releases. Depending on the timeline for 1.4 we would start with
these changes and see how far we will come for the next release. Other
enhancements from this proposal may make it to later releases then.
http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/Engage+1.4
Please see this as a working document. These are the ideas that we had
here in Osnabrück how we can improve the Engage UIs. As I tried to write
down the concept on the page already here simply some highlights:
Matterhorn Media Module:
+ Series View
+ Sorting of Series and Episodes
+ Continuous scrolling instead of paging (as known from facebook i.e.)
Matterhorn Engage Player:
+ 4 functional areas where UI elements for new features can be placed.
+ no more dialog overlays.
About the color scheme:
Please keep in mind that we implement this as CSS afterwards. We would
like to introduce some new colors to give the UI a fresh updated look.
It will be easy to make changes to the color scheme, when we implemented
the engage UI in HTML. So the discussion what will be the colors we
release matterhorn with can be one of the last things that we have to
decide about before a new release... If somebody wants to contribute to
this discussion then he should simple create the new CSS files.
We are open for comments and contructive feedback on these designs. This
proposal is based on what we in Osnabrück are willing to contribute into
development in this area. If you would like to request/propose extensive
changes from our approach please keep in mind that you should be willing
to contribute resources for your ideas too.
Thanks
Rüdiger
