Hello, all,
We have an alpha release ready of VoiceBox, our Knight Drupal Initiative project -
The project is a community media/feed aggregator/news space/conversation space. A high level run down of the featureset includes:
- Customizable user profiles;
- Discussions with embedded images, audio, and video;
- Publishing pictures, audio, and video via mobile devices and/or email;
- Content aggregation via rss;
- Remixing, curating, and republishing content within issues;
- Sharing content to eternal sites or via email; and
- Slideshows of featured content on the site homepage and selected landing pages.
While the primary focus is on grassroots and community media, it has uses within educational contexts as well.
The code is available at http://code.funnymonkey.com/project/voicebox
The project on drupal.org is at http://drupal.org/project/voicebox
Project documentation is at http://code.funnymonkey.com/doc/voicebox
And, a more detailed anouncement is at http://funnymonkey.com/community-media-grassroots-outreach-voicebox
For those interested, please grab it and run with it. If you have any issues, please report them in the issue queue; this is an alpha release, and while we've done a fair amount of testing we're looking forward to see what other people turn up when this is in the wild.
Cheers,
Bill
