Hi Héctor, I've proposed the development of an end-to-end publishing solution to create newspapers and magazines for the Google Summer of Code program. I've submitted my application to Scribus (http://www.scribus.net) because I want to use Scribus as DTP program, but I'm going to implement the CMS part in Plone. Maybe we could collaborate on this issue.
The abstract can be found here: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Draft_for_the_GSoC_Application_Abstract_%28Timo_Stollenwerk%29 And a more detailed description can be found here: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Draft_of_end-to-end_publishing_solution#Use_Case_.233_Publishing_Workflow_for_Magazine_Layout_.28Timo_Stollenwerk.29 timo Héctor Velarde schrieb: > Kai: > > this is just to share our current experience and view on what a Plone > solution for a newspaper should include. > > first I want to give you a very basic introduction: on every newspaper > we have production and deployment. production means content (text, image > and multimedia) creation. we want to implement this giving all > reporters/photographers a way to insert their content in a database. a > reporter, for example, will use a web editor to create XML content that > will be stored on the database. this content has to be revised, > classified and edited by the editors and then would be ready for > deployment. > > deployment would be the creation of different products with the above > information: a printed edition, a PDF version, a web site, alerts for > mobile phones, etc. every product would have its own specifics, and the > same news article could be presented in different ways depending on > product capabilities: the text could include video and audio on a web > site, a small resume will replace the whole story on mobile phones, etc. > > there is a complete set of standards for news articles developed by the > IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council, > http://www.iptc.org/) that includes NewsML, NITF, NewsCodes and IPTC > headers of digital images. > > NewsML provide a media-independent, structural framework for multi-media > news.
