Archive:Media Assets Workgroup/Development

Have a development idea? Want to pitch in in some way that will develop Citizendium's media assets? Do you need help developing something? Great! You can think of this page as a sort of "hub" of development activity for media.

Projects

If you think you can help, be bold. Also, coordinate with any others who are already working on the issue, to maximize productivity.

Commonist

See User:ImageUploadBot for how to help.

flinfo

Customize flinfo to work with Citizendium. Requires some ability to understand php. No one has started this yet. User:Stephen Ewen, however, has the flinfo source code and it is GFDL.

Upload Wizard

• U.S. gov templates. Need someone to develop special templates for major U.S. government providers of public domain or public domian-ish material for use with http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Special:Upload&uselang=pd-usgov

• Wikimedia major upload tmeplates. Need someone to compile a list of the principle ways media at Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia are tagged and to help put together the "Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia" section of the Wizard.

• Public domain wizard. Need someone who can spend probably a full day to go to a university law library that has this book (most have it) and make notes about the public domain laws of every country discussed in the two volume set. This will form the research base of the public domain upload wizard. Ideally, two people should do this so all info can be verified before we go making a system.
