[Bug 237995] Re: part of the website not up-to-date

[Brylie Oxley]

OK, I can't find the "Ubuntu Request Tracker" or the "Canonical Request
Tracker". Can you post a link? Anyway I wanted to tack a request onto
the upgrade ticket:

1) Install the Drupal Shell if it's not already installed:
http://drupal.org/project/drush

This tool is simply wonderful :-)

I have an idea for a possible workflow to incorporate videos onto the site easily. It would require several modules (Drush makes installation much easier):
First for SPAM:
Akismet, reCaptcha

Second for auto-generation of posts (as seen above):
CCK, Views, FeedAPI,  and Feed Element Mapper

Third, for admin approval and public voting:
Flags, VotingAPI, FiveStar

Here's the idea:
A) Subscribe to the blip.tv RSS feed for the 'ubuntu' and/or 'ubuntuscreencasts' tags (others if desired). Follow the video to map the proper fields from blip.tv to the Drupal node fields. Create a private page which lists these items, for users given moderator privelages.

B) Install the Flag plugin and enable a flag similar to "import" or
"accept" on views containing videos so that they can be screened to
ensure quality standards and license compatibility. When a moderator
clicks the flag an action is triggered to scan the blip.tv page, snag
the download link, download the video locally and attach it to the node.

C) "Publish" the node to the public area of the site to allow for
viewing, voting, &c
