General Task

Objective: Create a centralized repository for all Drupal learning materials (video, audio, slideshows, documentation). This would include both Dojo branded content as well as materials aggregated from other sources. Provide an easy way to filter/recommend content.

Description/Requirements

  • A way to tag site content as well as a way to mark off-site resources and create various listings. Basically an internal/external resources library. A way for someone looking for xyz info to get a list of all resources for it that have been tagged as such by the Dojo community.
  • A means for users an easy way to filter/recommend content.
  • Users will be able to create and share custom 'playlists'.
  • A syndication service (RSS or RDF) that then can provide all this content in a format that can be used as the data source for other websites (e.g. the curriculum/moderated content use case)

Use cases and related efforts

Modules

Workflow

Aggregate feeds a la the Drupal Planet, and then we (or anyone with privileges) could assign videos to their correct location, could categorize them, possibly point them to handbook pages, or structure them in whatever way worked best.

Resources

Tutorials, screencasts, and howtos

Not sure if we've tackled this yet on the development site. Any ideas on how to handle?

The basic functionality of Managing News would 'almost' seem perfect for what we want to do. That is, if there was a way to integrate emfield, feedapi, and feedapimapper inso we could grab the media (great example here - http://www.zivtech.com/videos/drupal-video-planet); In talking w/ Alex Barth about this, he said the best bet would be to do something with Emfield...of course I've completely forgotten what he said. Thinking we could get him to add to this issue and possibly we could make this a media kata task!

Looks like the new feeds module (http://drupal.org/project/feeds ) could do most of what we're looking for. As of now, we don't yet have the setup and workflow figured out. Thoughts on how to do this?

Per our discussion today, we've deemed this a good idea. @Aaron, is this something we can set up w/ Feeds module?

Which are essentially books in course manual style. I personally think a VCS compatible format/storage is appropriate here.

For something that rises to the level of a planned course I'm against a wiki style. A course needs vision and control (just like a module does) IMO.

Aggregating external resources is different than collecting resources around a class or lesson. This needs clarification in the final spec. @Peter - you seem to have a very clear idea - please don't hesitate to jump in and help define! cheers!

Assuming we implement this, should we create a landing page for 'resources'? Something similar to this? http://www.zivtech.com/videos/drupal-video-planet
