If only people would make real-world, rational and pragmatic arguments about
FOSS then this adversarial stuff would be less strident.
The argument (IMO) should be about the use of an open standard, not Adobe vs

How about an Air app that allows one to edit the DMI metadata in a web
browser.
If there were a published BBC metadata schema we could do this outside the
BBC; as it is it would need to be an internal effort.

It might be nice to see something like the BBC Annotatable Audio project that the BBC

I would still agree though, despite the stream of valid points about
the BBC who shouldn't have used flash.
I still agree that now they have, to get themselves out of such a

£150 for freelancers who live locally, who I bounced this to, has
been more than they can afford.

Once you remove games, I believe there are only 3 things Flash player has
that cannot be recreated with html + css + javascript:
1. binary socket (Audio, Video)
2. XML socket
3. no page refresh file upload with user feedback events (% loaded etc)
I'm hoping someone can remove item 3 for me with
I agree that accessibility is below the radar of most developers. Less
important topics are too, such as color management (modern browsers
interpret ICC color profiles).
In my experience, what's effective is to videotape the conference and
publish the video and audio recordings with transcripts,
- Hum... *only* sound and video? All that content is a pretty big
deal.
- Cross-browser client-side storage? Sure, you can do it in JS,
sometimes, using one of many APIs, but flash's shared object could make a
good fallback (I've not tried this though).

Definitely. Observable on BBC2 last night/this morning (05/03/2008) during
