Re: [backstage] BBC Catalogue
all ready to go, just waiting for signoff from les grandes fromages Any news on this?

Given that the contact information appears to have entered the same review+unavailability phase, I wondered if any of the BBC people on here could let me know when it might be back online?

[backstage] Really impressed
Title: Really impressed Really impressed with all the website feedback guys, it's really nice to get some constructive ideas rather than just picking problems with things! I think it shows the strength of the community we have here, and that's something I want to reflects in the website. I'd like to tie up a few of your ideas and try to summarise them, before I start planning the design for the new site * More accessible (to non technical people) but without loosing the depth of information needed in documentation. A non technical area where people can look at / comment on prototypes and ideas (also the ability to submit ideas). * Better navigation / search - being able to search the feed list, the api list or even it's content - being able to find feeds and apis by category and the relevant documentation with ease * Better design - overall, but also including graphical elements that you can use on your own sites and prototypes - perhaps a downloadable collection of graphics that you can use (including good quality BBC logos etc) * A HOWTO on camping * Easy ways to consume the important things like news and the blog, looking particularly at www, rss and mobile * Documentation should be on a wiki * Better separation between submission of ideas, and wanted feeds / apis I can't promise all of this, but I'm going to work very hard to make sure the new site works as well as it possibly can. Matthew (not camping this weekend, it's too wet). PS - You'll notice I've included my phone numbers in my sig now, please feel free to give me a call if you want to discuss anything. Perhaps not at 11pm but anytime during the day is normally good :-) Matthew Cashmore Development Producer bbc.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] 020 8008 3959 07711 913241 Matthew Cashmore.vcf BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Cashmore;Matthew FN:Matthew Cashmore ORG:;New Media Technology TITLE:Development Producer TEL;WORK;VOICE:- TEL;CELL;VOICE: TEL;PAGER;VOICE: ADR;WORK:;White City - Broadcast Centre LABEL;WORK:White City - Broadcast Centre EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] REV:20060928T102100Z END:VCARD

I am therefore intrigued by the relationship between the two. Perhaps there could be a sidestage blog, where concepts can be discussed, without the certainty of framework... but for the community .. for example the duc, digidesign users conference over at their site, or any active forum. My apologies if this is available to the community elsewhere, if it is I'd love the link. There are a very wide variety of people in this community, past and present, I for one would like to see more on how backstage can actually change the course of various experiences within the BBC, but not necessarily involving the critic of what is already there.
