My notes from the 20040603 meeting.
Robert recommends we check out:
TWiki - A Web Based Collaboration Platform for any documentation and engineering projects. There seem to be a lot of positive case studies out there.
Write Wikipedia articles on re-mixable films, mod films, mod and add links from existing entries.
Use the Mailman listserver in the lead up to the community build.
Don't neglect off-site backups. To discuss with MattP for exchange of media.
Research enterprise message bus architecture for scalable number of peer connections. You register available message types by publishing these to the bus. Other systems subscribe to the bus. It sounds like this could one way to organise references to MODs and film assets not hosted by modfilms.
E.g. openadaptor™ is a Java/XML-based software platform which allows for rapid business system integration with little or no custom programming.
Robert is going to contact a MOD community of 17 year-olds he knows of to sound them out about freelance sysadmin work and involvement in community projects.
