[IMC-Video] filmforge sandbox

[mark burdett]

Speaking of FOSS video sharing platforms.. I setup a sandbox of the 
"filmforge" drupal install profile http://drupal.org/project/filmforge 
and http://drupal.org/project/filmforge_theme at 
http://filmforge.indybay.mobi/ -- just to see how it all works.  I also 
included the drupal bittorrent module, just for fun.  feel free to try 
it out.

the drupal community is huge so i'd say there's a good future for 
drupal-based video sharing sites (including some big well-funded sites 
about to launch).  cool new modules like "media mover" 
http://drupal.org/project/media_mover are being developed all the time 
(not yet used by filmforge install profile)

one problem at the moment is that drupal contrib modules are not as 
stable as drupal core itself, so occasional turbulence is possible when 
setting up a site based on an install profile.  in the case of 
filmforge, I had to patch the profile to make it compatible with the 
latest versions of some contrib modules.

if anyone is interested in using/testing/contributing to the install 
profile, feel free -- http://drupal.org/project/issues/filmforge is the 
best place to file bug reports, feature requests & support requests.

Note: I'm not the developer/maintainer of this install profile, that 
would be the great folks @ Koumbit -- thanks to them for working on 
filmforge!
