The Media group is the working group for the Drupal 7 File entity module, Media module and all the various modules that extend Media. The Media group is a place for all interested parties to collaborate and discuss anything related to the Drupal Media "ecosystem".
Media: Google Docs?
As development of Media and its small galaxy of modules continues, i'd like to pose a simple question to other users and developers: Does anyone have the need for or see any value in a module that would provide support for Google Docs as entities, just like Media: YouTube does so for videos, Media: Flickr does so for images, and so on?

How to manage a Newspaper Front Page?
I am currently given consultancy to a newspaper and there is only one thing that we cannot find a solution that fits the clients needs.
The management of the front page.
This are the requirements:
1) Drag & Drop interface
2) Can attach to the frontpage any type of content defined.
3) User can define new regions to relate content in the front page.
4) User can override a taxonomy term page with the front page
5) Can override the image, title, link and short text associated with the related content in the cover without leaving the front page manager.

We've recently released a new drupal module that helps integrate Soundslides projects (http://soundslides.com). Soundslides has traditionally been used by journalists on many sites like the NY Times and the BBC for creating audio slideshows. The new Soundslides shell is fully HTML5 and iOS compatible.

Advanced documentation concerning structural info
Hi. I am trying to write an upgrade script, so that I convert my old image_attach images to media fields. For this, I need to know which code is exactly executed, when a new file gets added as media of a node.
I haven't managed to find any relevant documentation, so I am proceeding with looking directly to the code. In case you know some resource for that, it would be of real help.

Read moreIs Drupal Ever going to get with it when it comes to Video
Drupal is already such a powerful system but sometimes I am just amazed at how little progress it has made when it comes to being able to play videos and stuff. You have to go through a million different modules, read a million different installation guides, find the correct version. etc.. it's so aggravating.
In Wordpress all of this is so simple. Anyway, that is my rant... and now my question is has anyone been able to get the Video Module working with Drupal 7.14?? If so, WOULD YOU MIND TO PLEASE SHARE?

Responsive Media
Introduction
Serving the content of a site to mobile devices is more important then ever and a lot of sites take a responsive approach, i.e. not using a dedicated mobile version of the site but instead resize and reorder the content depending on the screen-size.
Using a theme like Omega, AdaptiveTheme or Arctica (just to name a few) you can create a responsive design fairly easily. Images resize nicely thanks to html5 and the same would go for videos utilizing the "video" element.
