We are readying the first draft of the project goals for the MediaCore Video CMS. Feel free to read them over and comment. We’re looking for community feedback.
Goals
- All-in-One Video and Podcasting: To produce a powerful and easy-to-use Open Source video and podcast platform that can scale to meet anyone’s needs
- Open Source: To remain freely usable for both open source and proprietary applications. We will continue to license MediaCore using the GPL v3.0 license. In addition, we will strive to create an environment that is friendly to both newcomers and developers. We will continue defining a new standard for open source projects, which communicates with its communities. We will use github, twitter (@simplestation), facebook, google groups, and our forums to build community and provide avenues for feedback.
- Usability: To work in accordance with good user interface design principles that ensure MediaCore will be usable by the broadest range of users including those with disabilities. We want both our marketing website and our platform to set a high bar for usability and become a role model for other Open Source projects.
- Standards Compliance: To comply with relevant web standards, and to embrace new standards as they evolve. We aim to create one of the most accessible web platforms on the net today.
- Compatibility: To maintain graded browser support for standards compliant browsers
- Showcase the Power of Python: To showcase Python as a programming language of choice for developing web applications
Was excited by this project until I saw that it runs on Apache.
Any plans for a superior NGINX version?
Thanks
Hey Chris,
Have no fear! You could have your very own “superior NGINX version” today!
Basically this is a WSGI app. It has no requirement for Apache, just for a webserver that supports WSGI. We use Apache as our primary webserver, so my documentation centres around that, but there are resources to help you use a WSGI application on NGINX.
Because MediaCore is built on top of TurboGears2.0 is built on top of Pylons0.9.7, a tutorial for using TG or Pylons with nginx is probably enough to get you started.
Maybe these are of interest to you?
Any plans for a superior NGINX version?
Thanks
Any plans for a superior IIS version?
An IIS version? As in Microsoft? No.
If you can get Python to run on IIS then I suppose it’s possible, though I’m not sure how far you’d get because a lot of the packages depend on other linux packages.
I noticed from the workflow video that encoding was human process — there is no auto-conversion to a streamable format. Do you plan to support autoconversion?
We do plan on supporting autoconversion. I just sent you an email with a few more details.
can i also get an email about supporting autoconversion?
