Feedback on the Collaborative Video Extension
General
The Kaltura demo has now been seen and tried out by users from Halopedia, WoWWiki, Uncyclopedia, and Memory-Alpha, as well as others from across Wikia who were interested. We have not found any major problems that would prevent us using it on Wikia. Angela
Bugs
- Sound was playing even when paused.
Suggestions and Improvements
- The main feedback from Wikia was that users need a lot more documentation. Many didn't get it at first glance and some of those didn't want to spend time just playing with it. They want to know quickly how it works. They also need more examples of how it could be used. Some said it was "cool" but didn't know what they would do with it. I personally feel it has great potential on almost any wiki, but it's hard to explain that without being able to show people real examples. Angela
- Should be able to add edit summaries.
- Editing titles and descriptions of videos: When you create a video, you can name it, and describe it. However, no one else can ever adjust it (as far as I can tell), even to fix a spelling mistake. -- Zanimum 12:58, 18 January 2008 (EST)
- Please stop creating new samples using all copy-written content. I realize it's a heck of a lot easier, but please try and use Wikimedia Commons, and use Archive.org. -- Zanimum 12:58, 18 January 2008 (EST)
- I haven't the foggiest where to click to add text. I know that there's an annoying auto text when you first create a video, but it was a struggle to delete that, and I haven't found where I'd add new text with. -- Zanimum 12:58, 18 January 2008 (EST)
- In the "Add image" area, please add Wikimedia Commons as a default, to encourage people to fine our database of images. -- Zanimum 13:04, 18 January 2008 (EST)
- It would be nice to access the "Add image/video/sound" from within the video editing area. Often, I've been arranging away, and realize there's an extra image I need, but have to close everything down before I can upload, and load everything back up. -- Zanimum 13:04, 18 January 2008 (EST)
Other Comments
- Despite the endless comments above, it's a valiant start for a free license project. -- Zanimum 13:06, 18 January 2008 (EST)
