Yes, I take the point that this new site is not just for August, and I was thinking short term!<br><br>I like the idea that the video player is there and can be either enabled (say during the week of camp) or hidden away when it's less desired/getting old. <br>
<br>But I think that all the discussions that we had about it at the media team meeting on Sunday really assumed that there would be a player on the home page during the week of the London camp. <br><br>Is that more workable?<br>

Hi,<br>I would personally be unhappy with a 'fixed' player on the front page. It means that old content can sit there and make the site look stale unless updated very regularly (fine now, but what about next feb when energy is low?). <br>
It can also make life difficult for users with low bandwidth, mobile devices, and users without the latest version of IE/FireFox. There were a great deal of problems last year with flash plug ins etc...in relation to time to load the page, as well as creating caching issues on proxys used on site during the camp. <br>
<br>I agree that the wonderful content being created by this new and shiney 'video team'. To me, it would make sense to have a module/snippet that can be enabled when relevant - i.e. during the camp and when new and relevant material is available, thus allowing us to utilise material when we have it, and hide it when it's old!!!!<br>
<br>The new site is starting to look great, but let's not try and stuff everything onto the front page. <br><br>thanks<br>iggy. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/8/3 Emily James <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:emily@emily-james.com" target="_blank">emily@emily-james.com</a>></span><div>

<p>If Torchbox could style (if we need to) an optional video
player for the main box and the smaller boxes for editors to slot in as and
when required, that would be ideal. I’d prefer not to dedicate one promo slot to
video – rather post video as and when we want to, sometimes we’ll want more
than one video.</p>
<p></p></blockquote></div><div><br>I'd like to make the case for a standing, dedicated video slot - Climate Camp TV is going to be producing a series of short films and studio programs through out the week, so there will be a good turn over of quality films, and these can be set up to stream the best stuff automatically onto a window embeded on the home page. Plus, we will have a few films about previous camps which will be playing in the player before camp, so don't worry, it wont be empty. <br>
<br>The video player on the main page can then connect through to the full Climate Camp TV page (which can either be part of the main CC site, or can be independent, which ever way the website team thinks is best) And on that page one will be able to find a full range of Climate Camp related films and programmes.<br>
<br>If it's left to a case by case basis, this seems to be under-utilising the fantastic efforts being made to generate a stream of content through the week.<br><br>Thoughts?<br><font color="#888888"><br>Emily<br><br>

Hi<br>
My immediate thoughts are it's too clinical, no fun. There is far too<br>
much text to get lost in and too many links to take people away before<br>
they read it all. The leading picture might work on a leaflet but not<br>
webpage we need something more dynamic. I don't like the background<br>
colour.<br>
<br>
In peace Neil<br>
<br>
