We've created a channel in Miro, Fedora TV, for use by the marketing team with things like screencast tutorials/video interviews etc and we want to make it easy for community people to submit their content.
To do this, we planned to create a simple web form that collects the users' data (Name, e-mail, video URL etc) and then sends that off to an e-mail address. This e-mail address could either belong to a single editor or a mailing list (the latter is preferred), so that we can check it's relevant before adding it to the main channel feed for all the world to see.
We have a simple script in PHP to collect this form information and e-mail it, and providing people don't think there are better approaches to this, we would like to get it hosted so that we can use it on Fedora Websites.
Feedback and help is appreciated :)

So I've got a couple of questions.... First of which being why can't people just email this stuff?
Second being, and this is probably a question for legal, in order to submit that stuff to us via a web form, wouldn't we need to require cla done?
Third being, how large of files are we talking about emailing around (be very specific)? Email and video often seem ill suited to eachother.

Another idea would be to have a fedora-websites Trac instance on fedorahosted and use it to track these requests. Release Engineering and Infrastructure are already doing this.

I also like the idea of trac or a mailing list for something like this (releng even does something with an email -> trac gateway).
Thanks, Ricky

Even that might have issues if we're pushing large files around.

I believe the email just includes a link to the Video URL, not the video file attached to the email.

So the work flow here is
1. User creates video -> 2. User types information into this form and clicks submit. 3. Email goes to someone who then does $SOMETHING and it shows up in Miro?
Just curious, what is that $SOMETHING?

$SOMETHING right now is me manually updating an rss feed - http://jonrob.fedorapeople.org/fedora-tv.xml
This is something that would be good to automate at some point, but to get the ball rolling I'm happy to go with this.
Will review this thread properly this evening...thanks for all the feed back though, I've been (kind of) keeping up and it looks like Trac might be popular :)

OK, from my point of view both Trac and the mediawiki extension would work perfectly for our needs.
What would infra's preferred approach be? I'm happy to go with whatever will cause the least hassle as both suit our needs :)

I'd prefer a trac instance, its a pretty low-cost operation for us. And, in theory, your team could use it for other stuff. If its not what you're looking for just say so though and we'll look at another solution.

Does Trac require a Fedora account to contribute? If it does, I'm not certain this is a big problem, but would need thinking about...

You can set ticket creation to anonymous, but due to spam, it may be unwise.

OK - could I give the go ahead for a Trac instance? What needs doing, and what can I do to help you guys out?
I've been thinking it through, and I don't think we'd need anonymous ticket creation as FAS2 is such a low barrier to entry these days, and if it encourages people to sign up and become more involved in what ever way they wish, then I think it's probably a good direction to go...
