Hello althio,

I did make quite a few additions to the shared document, that is a good method for consolidating ideas in one place.

I am a bit nervous about the 1 min. concept. 1 min. is not very long, most topics are going to require a bit more than that. Surely, we can expect the volunteer's attention span to stretch to perhaps three or 5 min. If the videos are only 1 min. long, hundreds will be required to cover the whole realm. Cataloging them will be a major task and who will want to wade through scores of video listings to find a paltry 1 min. dissertation?

                Thanks, Cheers . . . . . . . . Spring

Springfield, Suzan, all, special mention to Lars, I do encourage you to share your suggestions and experience as newcomers in the shared document where it could be put to much better use than in the mailing list. You have the opportunity to get involved at a very veeery early stage of this videos project. Of course the document is pretty rough, this is collaborative and brainstorming. Seize the day. Make your mark. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mo82sCLLnP30SsgRO1VIpGxezWcQhAQ_HxEpCEPh89o/edit?usp=sharing Another disclaimer: this initiative of 1-minute videos is led by MissingMaps. I fully support it and try to foster it but I am not in charge. People in charge may not read or answer in this mailing list. If you want to give feedback and ideas on this: go and edit the shared document. Let me be blunt at this point: in the scope of this video project, when pointed to an external document, any comment left in the mailing list is 100 times less useful and 1000 times more likely to be forgotten. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mo82sCLLnP30SsgRO1VIpGxezWcQhAQ_HxEpCEPh89o/edit?usp=sharing As everything in open data and open source, don't be afraid of making some errors. Your input will be reviewed and modified by others, and everything will improve with time and contributions. > The instructional materials that do exist also seem to be scattered among many sites and documents; I have given up trying to keep track. That statement applies to all fields of knowledge that I know of. - althio wall of links: active contributor in the Training Working Group <train...@hotosm.org> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/Working_groups/Training member of the LearnOSM team <learn...@hotosm.org> http://learnosm.org/en/beginner/ HOT is a partner of MSF-UK, British Red Cross and American Red Cross with MissingMaps http://www.missingmaps.org/ http://www.msf.org.uk/missing-maps-project http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Missing_Maps_Project Fresh from today: http://www.msf.org.uk/msf-scientific-day-catch-up Session 1: Keynote speech & unchartered territory: mapping for humanitarian responses _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
