[IMC-Video] Plumi

Wed Nov 7 07:04:28 PST 2007

Hey Ed,

FYI there is a Japanese Labor organisation using Plumi software:
http://video.labornetjp.org/

They have 44 videos uploaded and seem to be doing really well :)

We only released the 0.1-final version of the Plumi video-sharing 
package for Plone in September, so it's very early days. We're starting 
to have other developers from outside the EngageMedia collective 
contribute substantially to Plumi now, which is a good sign for the 
health of the project.

AFAIK there isn't another project using FilmForge (for Drupal) as yet, 
so perhaps this is not the best way to judge the options considering 
that they are all quite new. That said, I would say that EngageMedia.org 
is a well-established test case for Plumi.

You can also test out a demo of what the software is like when freshly 
installed here:
http://demo.plumi.org

Cheers,
Anna

>
> * promote this new search and distribution tools and

> adn working hand in hand.
>
> * work out a video uploading and distribution

> from video.indymedia.org.
>
> Current suggestions are plone / plumi.org, drupal (
