Support for open video format

• Mock-up for how back-end process could work for adding project image, video or slides:

Project marquee order of importance

• In cases where users have provide BOTH a still image, AND a video, AND a presentation, the primacy should go:

1) video 2) presentation 3) image

Support for open video formats

• PLEASE NOTE: We need to support open video formats (like .ogg) and non-Flash options
• This is important to the community. We'll get complaints if we force users to use only Flash options.
• Matt spoke to Campbell -- was going to consult with Mike Priest on best way to support this
• See example of how we've been using HTML / supporting open video on the site so far: http://www.drumbeat.org/project/webmademovies/news/building-better-internet-video
• The "video for everyone" code snippet may be useful?

NEW: Project placeholder image

• We asked for this in alpha version, but ran out of time to implement
• All projects should have a placeholder image. e.g., NO projects should appear with a blank or no image
• If user does not provide an image (or video or slides), use this .jpg as placeholder image:

Notes, comments & questions for next iteration

• Should we change "comments" to "conversation?"
