charlotteanne, I took a quick look at the NOWCast SA scope of work and while what you propose is different, there are also similarities between elements of your proposal and the Open Media Project , not the least of which is that they are both CMS, Drupal-based, projects funded by the Knight Foundation. I'm in Austin, at channelAustin, 70 miles up I-35, and we're one of the 6 sites collaborating on the OM Project. I've been looking for an opportunity to "evangelize" the OM Project to people in San Antonio, thinking in particular that some of the people now associated with the semi-defunct public access station might be interested. Next week, we'll be in Portland to update the Alliance for Community Media on our progress and also this, Open Media Mixer . One of the best things that I like about the originators of the Open Media Project - i.e. the developers in Denver - is the emphasis on doing things "the Drupal way", i.e. a great focus on expanding collaboration and sharing. There may very well be modules in development, or methodologies for implementing modules or suites of modules, that OM has developed or configured that could work with or be a jumping off point for NOWCast.
Also, whereas you posted your notice as a job, I see this as more of a call for collaboration, which is why I pitched it back into the discussion category. What you're proposing is way more interesting that the standard job notice.
