Castwiki is a project mainly written in JAVASCRIPT and PYTHON, it's free.

attach wiki metadata to media files by a point in time

A media player metadata like thing.

I want some way of documenting a media stream. The only sensible way to do it seems to be by time. So this is the beginnings of a webapp to let people point at a point in a stream, counted from the beginning and comment on it.

== What is it? ==

A page is an audio stream.

fragment identifiers within the page are points in time within the audio stream. You can attach comments to the points in time (I call them //moments//)

== Status ==

Still very much in development. We don't even have the proper hash following stuff yet, its speced [[http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/history.html here]]

== How to bootstrap ==

  • {{{cd toplevel}}}
  • run {{{ant}}} to build the flash
  • {{{cd toplevel/tbb}}}
  • {{{veh rebuild}}} to build the django dependancies
  • {{{veh shell -- ./manage.py syncdb}}} to make the database
  • {{{veh shell -- ./manage.py runserver 8003}}} to run on port 8003

== Bootstrapping Techgrumps ==

I've included an xslt that can scrape the Techgrumps website and produce a Django loadfile.

Like this:

{{{ cd tbb xsltproc --html ../tg.xslt http://techgrumps.wordpress.com/ > load.xml ./manage.py loaddata load.xml }}}
