Where's the Code? and other FAQs

Code for the version of Public Media Manager that is on demo here in the PubForge Playpen will be posted for download at PubForge and at the project site pmm-cms.sourceforge.net on Friday, March 3. We are working out some issues and inconsistencies related to new features. In the meantime, anyone who has requested login credentials (request login credentials) can test drive the features in the Playpen.

MP3 and/or Real Audio files up to 10 mb in size can be uploaded with stories. Photos attached to stories should be small (200px in width at most), so as not to present page display problems. Since Public Media Manager is designed primarily for use by a single organization, the version in the Playpen allows any user to edit another's stories. We ask that you refrain from editing stories you did not post, unless they were posted by another user from your own organization.

A bulletin board for discussion of PubForge projects and demos will be in place within a few days. If you need specific information about Public Media Manager in the meantime, you can use the open comments feature of this blog. I will review the blog frequently and reply to comments in future postings. If you prefer your requests and comments to be private, email dale@ncpr.org.
