==Adopting Highly-Reconfigurable, Networked Cameras for Live-Streamed Meetings==
 
-
"Elphel, Inc. "provide[s] high performance cameras based on free software and hardware designs." These cameras are more akin to miniaturized computer devices, complete with Ethernet and USB connectivity, than traditional cinematic cameras. The purpose of this project is to investigate adoption of these cameras as a "go-to" solution for live-streaming meetings using entirely free-and-open-source software and hardware. A network of such cameras could be preset to not only live-stream video released under a Creative Commons license, but would also facilitate a standardized citation framework for furthering discussions contained within the meetings across a broad range of important topics."

*This is a fantastic opportunity to tear apart the internals of both a cutting-edge open video player and MetaVidWiki; note the HTML5 Player is the primary playback and in-browser editing solution for the Wikimedia Foundation (e.g., deployment in Wikipedia).

==Re-design the [[OMwiki:Finding_aid|Visual Finding Aid]]==
 
-
 
-
Problem: The Visual Finding Aid (VFA) is helpful to finding a meeting you remember visually, but not when and where.  The VFA is just a collection of animated .gifs, causing slow page loads, limited scalability, and no ability to 'scrub' an individual .gif or jump to the frame of interest.
 
-
 
-
*Replace animated GIFs with low-FPS, enlargeable, jump-to-timecode Theora. Alternatively, use [http://pad.ma/ Pad.ma]-style mouse-overs (see [https://wiki.pad.ma/browser/padma.dev/padma/static/javascript/info.js?rev=padma.dev%2C354&order=size&desc=1 <nowiki>$(imagePoster).load(function() {...})</nowiki>]).  The thumbnails should cycle through the meeting in large time chunks when non-mouseover'd, and then display clickable frames according the how far the mouse is from the left edge when mouseover'd.  Include the ability to pause all animations and step through all meetings in per-click lock-step syndication.
