The idea of non-textual (english) based interface is very interesting,
under this perspectve, I can easily find some members from the
community were the NGO work that could test the software.<br>
Also, maybe, if we need some text in the interface, If it is builded in
a way that it could be easily translated (like having all the text
words in an small txt, coma separated file,) I donīt thing that it
would be a problem too.<br>
<br>
Thompson, this is a very interesting idea... I can try to imagine ways to do it...<br>
And Soenk, the Alexandre Freire at ali.. would be Ale, Felipe Fonseca and Ariel Foina?<br>
They are from one of the groups that I was talking about before, I were in the last Incomunicado conference too.<br>

although I think I fit more naturally into a training role than evaluation. In
terms of finance I probs align roughly with what Andy set out. I could also
bring to the party community groups willing to participate and these cover a
wide variety of cultures and ethnic groups. I also have a student volunteering
scheme that could provide community media volunteers to assist community groups

where possible, but I have found in the past that writing proposals by wiki is
very<br>difficult. It is less clear who is going to make sure the proposal
actually gets finished and submitted on time. My understanding<br>is that we are
hoping that Yuwei & Marlene will submit the outline proposal next week
(20th)<br><br>We have very little time left.<br><br>I would like to suggest the
following allocation of people to roles.<br><br>Needs analysis:<br>Andy
(myself), Ann Light, David Wilcox -<br><br>It would help to have someone from
outside the UK as part of this work. I have a couple of possible contacts (David
Casacuberta in<br>Barcelona, Fiorella de Cindio in Milan) who might be
interested. If no-one on the list from outside the UK wants to sign up,
I<br>will contact one or both of them.<br><br>Tool development /
integration<br>Tactical tech? Giles Lane (proboscis)?, Cinelera?, Soenke
Zehle?<br>We don't have anyone listed as yet as specifically interested in
co-ordinating the development work. This is critical. Are any of<br>the people
listed here interested in taking this on board (obviously at a very provisional
level right now).<br><br>The point here is that the initial proposal should make
some suggestion as to an approximate budget for the project. We may be<br>doing
back of the envelope stuff here, but we should have an idea of the kind of
amounts we are talkign about, and the time scale.<br><br>Documentary making /
testing<br>I still think we need someone to offer the specific skills in
community documentary making - Ginny at Voluntary Arts may be able<br>to help.
Who else would be interested from outside the UK?<br><br>Training
workshops:<br>Leonie Ramondt (ultralab) ?<br>Steve Thompson<br>Again, a non-UK /
non English speaking line would be helpful.<br><br><br>Evaluation:<br>Ann Light,
Steve Thompson, Andy Dearden, Yuwei Lin & Marleen<br><br>Assuming that we
want this to be a 3 year project, what kinds of finance would people be looking
for.<br><br>For my own place I'd be thinking about about 220 - 250K Euros - this
would employ a research assistant for 3 years, plus some<br>money to cover my
time (about 1 day per week), plus some money for
travel.<br><br><br>Andy<br><br><br>Andy Dearden<br>Communications &

documentary project - draft proposal<br>><br>><br>> Hi
All,<br>><br>> Thanks for showing your interest in the
project.<br>><br>> I'm trying to narrow down the project to a more doable
level. It is<br>> possible that we will cooperate with TacticalTech<br>>
(<a href="http://www.tacticaltech.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.tacticaltech.org</a>) and
incorporate their practical<br>> activities<br>> with the research
activities. To make this incorporation<br>> easier, I have<br>> listed
three main research duties essential in this project:<br>> 1) mapping<br>>
user requirements/needs for new media toolset (need assessment); 2)<br>>
facilitating training workshop (teaching users how to use the<br>> new
media<br>> toolset in a local level); 3) evaluation. Can all
interested<br>> people go<br>> to the wiki page and put your name and
affiliation in the<br>> category you<br>> wish to participate?
