Visual design
how to reflect the in progress nature of the video wiki? Right now, in the aaa version: classified alphabetically by URL different kind of sorting criterias:
- date
- amount of annotations
- length
- keywords referring to the subtitles
Object images / Icons
- audio: creating a tag "picture" that link to an image ressource
- same for video
- for video it could be also specifying a timestamp and it would pick the image corresponding
Title
using a real title and not a url as the page title
subtitles on/next to the video: being able to call the subtitles in a div. translating textile markup to html. it allows links to other media but also collage code with images/videos.
introducing a concept of chapters/scenes
either a special tag would be inserted in the subtitle source, or another layer would be add allowing people to cut the video. How can we make it possible to allow different people to propose different cuts of the scenes; How can all of this overlap. the same for subtitles... how can several people propose several subtitles/commenting.
User Interface
showing an help div with the shortcuts for controlling the video and the timestamp and maybe adding shortcuts to style the text
Misc
Use ajax to ping the server to see if there is changes made by someone else. If so reload the content or gives a notice. And tells you what changed.
collage layout and cut
What about creating a markup that would allow one to design one's visual layout? Defining blocks identified by a number, and then filling them with visual, and textual resources over time.
