Series module[edit]

Inside a programme, certain activities can be linked together under a certain title(ie. Free Licenses was considered as a series inside the programme Verbindingen-Jonctions8) To be discussed: a series could spread through different programmes and projects?

Events module[edit]

An event is an activity bound to one place and time(ie a lecture or a concert). It has a start time and an end time. (ie. The Book Presentation in Verbindingen-Jonctions8 is an example of an event)

Publication module[edit]

A publication can be a book, a live CD, a sound, a radioshow, a tvshow, etc. It is not necessarily

Sound module[edit]

possibility to add incoming feeds and mix them. per event, programme, etc. Also see how to integrate this into the weblogs.

Links module[edit]

Downloads module[edit]

possibility to tag items and have them listed for download, with links back to context?

Services[edit]

the services are components that give generic functionalities for the modules. ie, every module will need translation, permission, etc.

Permission[edit]

to accomodate more users/writers/collaborators, the permission system needs to be adapted

• who has access to what? we need to think of scenarios for that

Translation[edit]

language + translations

• at the moment, the amount of languages in which a post is possibly translated is hardcoded and multipl ways of dealing with translations are in place -> homogeneity needed. what are our needs in term of translations?
• important to homogenise the language names (FR in place of FRA, etc) in the database and in the scripts.
• important: when creating an entry in the generic translation framework, we need to give it a language.

Metadata[edit]

link content to taxonomies, tags, keywords.
