hi all, first of all, thanks for ccHost and ccmixter, I enjoy a lot this site toghether with freesound! Your site has ispirated to me another similar idea, i.e. creating a site cc license powered that mixes text instead of music. I'm beginning to look at ccHost, but willing to know if for you it's a good idea and it's doable to customize ccHost to handle this kind of 'task' TIA, Marco :) -- ,= ,-_-. =. ------------------------------------------------------- + ((_/)o o(\_)) jabber:kp...@ja.../msn:kp...@mu... | `-'(. .)`- #mup...@ir... | \_/ The more I see, the less I know | |

Hi Marco, We support text formats but we don't have a stringent file verifier so it's relatively easy to spoof the system by uploading files that tricks the system into thinking it's text when in fact it is something more insidious. For ASCII text or PDF it may not so bad, but MS Word documents could have scripts embedded in them and the current system would not not it. If this is OK with you or you want to include special code on your installation it is very easy to enable this feature. After installation click on 'Global Settings', then 'Pseudo Verifier' and select the formats you wish to enabled in this mode. Hope that helps, VS |

I think I will permit only ASCII for the beginnings and then some open format like Open Document, HTML. Definitley NOT .doc though is the most popular format. ciao, Marco -- ,= ,-_-. =. ------------------------------------------------------- + ((_/)o o(\_)) jabber:kp...@ja.../msn:kp...@mu... | `-'(. .)`- #mup...@ir... | \_/ The more I see, the less I know | |

Let me know if/when you want to plug in that kind of verifier and I can point out how to do that. VS |

What specifically do you want to do with document/text remix? I think best to focus on very finite goal which is doable and kick-off with some type of good contest/competition/goal that would generate many things, like a short story or poetry remix project...

I was thinking to leave the site for a while without direction, to let the writers familiarize with cchost, and popolate the writers base. after that, surely there will be some contest, I was thinking also to a 'thematic' mix, where you can mix words related on one genres, or also 'multi-thematic' mix where you can start with a mistery story, remixing -- for example -- with horror, and concluding with romance or something similar also 'free jazz' writers improvisations, you know writing flowing out of the thumbs -- stream of consciouness style. the possibilities are endless, fantasy is the limit, you get the idea. atm, I only installed cchost locally and customized a bit, I hope sunday to have time to have a deeper look at the program. anyway, the project name will be 'babelmix' ciao, Marco -- ,= ,-_-. =. ------------------------------------------------------- + ((_/)o o(\_)) jabber:kp...@ja.../msn:kp...@mu... | `-'(. .)`- #mup...@ir... | \_/ The more I see, the less I know | |

I don't think that works very well for communities. I think you really have to have something to kick it off that has focus, but then also allow for random things as well...this is key in open source/open content projects...you need to give specific direction to people... > after that, surely there will be some contest, I was thinking also to a > 'thematic' mix, where you can mix words related on one genres, or also > 'multi-thematic' mix where you can start with a mistery story, remixing > -- for example -- with horror, and concluding with romance or something similar Sure...sounds interesting....I would though pick something very basic and easy to add on to that is very easy. > also 'free jazz' writers improvisations, you know writing flowing out of > the thumbs -- stream of consciouness style. Yeah, that is true, but not sure how interesting that is for on-line activity that is not in realtime.... > the possibilities are endless, fantasy is the limit, you get the idea. > > atm, I only installed cchost locally and customized a bit, I hope sunday > to have time to have a deeper look at the program. Cool! > anyway, the project name will be 'babelmix' Great, that sounds good. Looking forward to your project. Please keep the list informed as we can help on many different levels.
