Documentation on openmedia.org

Wondering where the documentation that was on http://www.openmediaproject.org/ might have been backed up to.

Was looking for something there.

Ok to add to "features" on front page

So, is it OK to add handbooks, wikis, and code to the "Features" section of www.openmedia.org

Without objection, I'll do that.


why not linked off openmedia.org

Because this is an open

Because this is an open source, community driven project and "you" didn't do it. Not "you" Stefan specifically, but "you" the collective. We had interns doing most of the work on that redesign, but John and I ended up doing more than we had hoped to get the site to the point it is now before the announcement about packaged install profiles was posted to Drupal.org.

We wanted the openmediaproject.org site to become more of an introduction to the project than what it was. While we made some progress in that direction, the changes made it more difficult to use other parts of the site.

You (that this is "you" Stefan) have admin level permissions to make any changes you'd like to that site. Obviously I think everyone would appreciate being informed when someone wants to improve an area of openmediaproject.org, but this is really an area were your contributions free up my time to contribute to other areas.

http://www.openmediaproject.org/wikis was another link that was dropped.


Maybe it was intentional

I wasn't sure if some of the previous links were left off the newer version of openmedia.org intentionally.

I guess instead of asking why the links weren't there, I should have asked whether in the new design some of the previous links were left out because the new site had a different purpose and we didn't want some of that older information to appear.


Hi Stefan, I'm glad to hear

Hi Stefan,

I'm glad to hear that you are ready to contribute to more documentation! I have been working on getting together a cohesive outline for all the the features in the hope that I could go ahead and create a new handbook on the openmediaproject.org website and have people work within certain pages of that structure. Right now I have a rough outline for the "Video Submission" feature, and if it turns out to be a pretty solid outline than it would help me crank out the pages associated with the other features.

I can follow up by email next week if you are ready to start contributing. Otherwise I should have pages created in the next couple of weeks and will be looking to our other partners for help in creating some content there.
