WSF2008 promotional banners

could Dan start working on a few proposals for Banners. They could be generic for now, we are working on the text: "Jan. 26th, 2008 - Another world is possible" - "Participate to the Global day of action", etc.

[I also though that it would be great if we could make some kind of widget that "counts down" the days to the 26th of Jan and that can be used as a banner]

The latter would be a graphic that Drupal has to update, and is hosted on our server. I'm sure there are PHP scripts for this if nothing else.

Stunningly incoherent WSF2008 conversation (voice over internet) notes

Sign in.

Should that be right away?

You see a page where the whole country

The first impact is the map.

And then you can have some lists.

and then a space where people

The complexity here is to have space for information where

Apart

Functionally, the local page and the activity forum-- which are in the same place.

The local page comprends many activities (probably we will have to call them actions)

The de

and the organizers
- i need to insist

they can

access it in one click, that's fine

Opt-in for contact from future WSF activities so site doesn't dead-end

Benjamin:
An aside: I was thinking it would be great if all the events like the US social forum could send their lists to be pre-registered with WSF2008.net. But they didn't ask people permission for this ahead of time, of course. Should we have a checkbox for "Let coming social forums in my area use my registration information" and/or "share with national social forum groups"?

Nesting nodes, nodes connected to sections depending where in the site they are created

For WSF2008, we may want to create content to be connected with the city or country portal.

Possibility:
http://drupal.org/project/og_subgroups

but no, not for WSF, because we need major panels action.

organic groups panels drupal
organic groups panels integration

A possible alternative to panels would be theming content type templates to include all the views and calls we want.

WSF2008 user menu (functionality) suggested by Pierre

Proposed user menu (functionality) from Pierre:

horizontality
decentralization
accountability
with some minimum rules politically communicable
and light protocols (only individual actions)

see a first proposed menu/action list

Proposed list of user Menu in wsf2008.net

User menu in front page (all actions are one click and do not need further confirmation by anybody)

Signature

Sign the call and register at the same time

Edit my signature ( one person can have two identifiers with a same mail address

Assigning geographical coordinates to Drupal content and using it to select or sort nearby content: brainstorm

location (API, module)
http://drupal.org/project/location

location.module supports proximity searches for content. Content (i.e., 'nodes') can be tagged with a physical snail mail location (whether full or partial). What number of location fields (e.g., 'street', 'city', 'postal code', 'country', 'province') are collected for each node type (and whether they are required or optional) is configurable in the default workflow for each node type.

Enable checkoff of taxonomy only if other information filled in

Can one make checking off a taxonomy dependent on whether other information on a form is filled in?

For the World Social Forum site, we would like people to be able to mark an action as confirmed if it has both a place and a time listed.

Activeselect would probably be a good place to start.

Resolution

Users can create text-to-image banners to promote their action

I just had a "great" idea... but we have to see if it is possible to implement it.
Do you know of any freesoftware online banner creator that could be "integrated" in the website, so people could have some pre-made templates and add their slogans, then press a button and get a .gif file ready for their website?

Something like: http://highpowergraphics.com/bannerbuilder/index.php

Resolution

Who can add RSS feeds, where, and how?

As-yet unresolved: which users can add RSS feeds (to action groups, or to cities, or to countries?) and how this technically is done.
