The Video Authoring Team involves everything to do with videos in Tiki, e.g. interviews, how-to instructional videos, etc..
Release responsibilities
Tentatively:
- Confirm that video resources management pages/trackers (coming soon™) are updated and current-version compatible.
- Handle any problems with listed videos becoming out of date
- Revise video if possible, especially for most-needed videos.
- Mark as out of date/archived if not.
Todo
Ongoing
- Maintain tv.tiki.org
- Maintain the menus. Per example when a new page is created (and added in the above ToDo list), add a link in the menus so that registered members can easily go to the said page and see what the "New ToDo List is all about"
Revamp Project
Tiki video channel objectives
- promote a meta video about posting videos on the channel
- promote Tiki community to attract new developers and users
- share tutorials
- share internal community interviews
- share guess speakers interviews
- share use cases
- share webinars recordings
- share private videos
- Make HTML5 videos & open standards the default in Tiki the software and in use on *.tiki.org
Those objectives could become channel themes.
Kaltura.com hosting
Plus
- full control of our videos
- can be used as a video repository
- a place to test Kaltura's integration into Tiki for each version
- ad free
- compatible with trackers (to be confirmed)
- We could choose to self-host videos in the future
Minus
-
cost of maintenance (another site to maintain) There is no more or less cost to maintain our Kaltura.com account than there is to maintain our YouTube or Video account
-
cost of storage capacities We have a free account on Kaltura.com because of our status
-
cost of bandwidth We have a free account on Kaltura.com because of our status

Questions
- what video channel(s) should we choose?
- do we control video quality before sharing them on future official Tiki channels?
- do we propose video standards for video producers?
- do we invest in pro video accounts on YouTube and/or Vimeo to get more options (customization, more storage, more HD videos, more bandwidth, etc.)
- if there is a purpose to maintain various platforms, could we develop a script to automatically update each site?
- who has admin access to the Vimeo account?
- how do we handle copyright? (we would suggest that all content shared publicly should be under CC and each producer is responsible of its own content)
- should we consider Ustream, Google Hangout, etc.? Or could we make a link between BBB and our channels?
Next steps
- update the Tiki video team page
- organize a community debate around Tiki video strategy (could be a webinar)
- clearly define strategy
- implement strategy
