• A "bake"/expand command that turns a dynamically generated content into a static one.
• A landmark rel type link

[[ landmark::#00:03:20|Text to be shown in the tooltip ]]
[[ landmark::http://example.org/myaudio.ogg#00:01:20|Text to be shown in the tooltip ]]

• Git repo should be a bare one

<aleray> hi, i'm implementing a wiki with django with a backend in git-python
* torbenh3 est parti (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
<aleray> I was wondering how you would do to manage concurrent editing... Every commit is done on the same repository
* spearce (spearce@nat/google/x-bkgliharprmmferi) a rejoint #git
<cirwin> when you start editing, keep track of the current master commit (i.e. in a hidden form field) — and when they save, create a new commit based off that, and merge the new commit into master
<cirwin> if the merge conflicts, present it to the user to resolve
* torbenh3 (~torbenh@d90-136-152-25.cust.tele2.de) a rejoint #git
* jrm2k6 est parti (Remote host closed the connection)
<aleray> cirwin, thanks. How can I commit against a specific commit ? How would it be translated into a git command ?
<cirwin> git checkout <base-commit>; <apply changes>; git commit -a; git checkout master; git merge HEAD@{1}
* baburdick est parti (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<cirwin> though you would have to implement some kind of locking scheme so that only one save was in progress at the same time — git is not really designed for very concurrent access

Thoughts from today:

• What to do when titles are shown/hidden -- link to classes
• New style "transitions", but also:
• Auto-triggering playback of media

To do

• Thomas Lehmen page:
  • Two audio interviews (as a playlist!?)
  • Audio file versions: OGG & MP3 -- using proper video tag + sources, and appropriate fallbacks
  • Embedded image: "smart" thumbnail filter that maintains a thumbnail at a requested size and allows for a zoom button.
• Work on "Master timeline" for VJ12 / Oral Site Cinematic --> Timeline synchronization
• Playlists
• Problem of High resolution images -- generate small thumbnails, clickable
• eventually embedding a YouTube / Generalize the code for embedding, javascript for "aaplayer"
•  ? reload on embed
• Versions!

Alex

• pipeline attribute
• css per annotation,
• Possibility for Markdown that translates into a Django Template Tag (limited set?) -- to do for instance, PageList
• Start with PageList markdown & template tag

Time, Timelines, and Playlists

• Relative time vs. Absolute time
• Datetime: Partial specification
• "8<" cut sections

Embedding

• How to add new filter / embed forms
• Setting title on an image
• How do "aa-apps" provide new filters
• Allow the use of Fragments in URLs!

Thursday 21 sept 2011

• • Deal properly with dynamic page elements
• bug: resaving an annotation with an embedded video incorrectly unwraps the "video support" message
• bug: unnamed level-1 header + positioning causes style to get written to wrong place
• POC: styler via dropdown (jeditable?)
• edit vs. play state
  • palette visible for play state, but changes are not saved
  • elements remain movable, but again not saved when not in edit mode
• Shortcuts (media control, paste timecode) -> shortcuts related to a specific media
• bug: must leave blank space at beginning of annotation (or else merges with previous annotation)
• bug: anchors don't work so far [[#id|text]]
• bug: Firefox 3.6 Mac, no save/cancel buttons on annotation box editing

next steps

• Annotations: Clean / repeatable javascript hooks for linking Videos to titles and vice versa

        $('span[property="aa:start"],span[property="aa:end"]').click(function () {
            console.log("clickable timecode", this);
            var t = $.timecode_tosecs_attr($(this).attr("content"));
            var video = $('video[src="' + $(this).parents('*[about]').attr('about')  + '"]')[0];
            if (video) {
                video.currentTime = t;
                video.play();
            }
        });

• Section 0 editing
• Virtual timeline, About with id of element?
• Trigger events on active titles: eg. play/stop a specific ressource
• filters -- async
• relation to adding URLs to the archive
• expandable canvas
• Skinnability: how could annotations be borderless / more flexibly styled than always boxes/mini-windows? -- could styles be class-based and user changeable?
• Skinnability: how could resizing / dragging be flexible for different styles? (not require a big window-style bar but perhaps provide an alternate handle) -- all through css styling of handle?

Halfway: for 26 Sept. (1st Oct. max)

Meeting ideas:

• watchlist
• audacity importer/exporter
• Active titles only

17 oct.

- waveform - general styling - allowing internal CSS - automatic playlists

17 Oct. -> 8 Nov.

- user accounts

Who's working on what

• Alex
  • "embed pipeline" code / modularization
  • Timecode markdown extension
  • git storage
• Michael
  • AA wiki markup
  • RDF indexing

RDF integration, sniffing & views

Using the "IMPORT" interface, the following URL is added to the system:

 http://video.constantvzw.org/vj10/

The system provides recursively adds resources based on the start URL (nice to provide an interface to manually exclude, similar to a photo app interface to import images from a camera). Added resources are (asynchronously) added.

A LIST page shows recently added resources & their associated metadata.

26 Sep 2011

Meeting with Kristien & Tom

• Toggle for things like height/scrollable
• Page/pages specific
• Ability to "open" pages to welcome contribution...
• full change history, watchlists and user blocking
• Slug name reverse not working on page names with spaces

(in page-edit view?! "Jonathan Burrows on Scores")

• Generic timeline / Timed texts without video

• Example: embed a link -- to be shown as a preview, even in a separate column (thinking sadieplant subs + images demo).
• Example of joining two interviews with a timeline element (and annotate the timeline)

Tom example: In an audio interview, desire to call up & see a video. (hidden l1 annotation ? ability to show and hide

example: {{pause}} (main resource) {{otherurl | play for 5 seconds }}

• waveform
  • audio visualisation ?

or is it more of a

• landscape view of the full contents of page

For November: Focus is on structure.

• Showing of related links during
• Think of a timeline as a page-level control (like the layers palette).

Proposal:

• Resource pages -- timeline is linked to a resource
• Wiki pages -- "virtual" timeline

• Audacity export
• Ability to view one at at time vs scrolling (vs. show / hide with animation)
• User Accounts / Edit vs Play mode
