GeekSpeak Show Flow

For GeekSpeak each show page has a title, an abstract with teaser, and content. The content is optional and we normally use it to add information about the show: guest bio, news links, questions and answers, and other things addressed durring the show. For a while now I have wanted to add comments so that multiple people can add content at the same time. This would mostly take place durring the show.

What we have been doing latley is assigning one Geek to edit the show page and add notes into the content of the show page. This works but is not “community” base enough for me.

So now I am thinking we can have a new element to the page, the idea would be a transcript list. This would be time based entries that would show as a list on the show page and allow a sort of transcript of the show. I would probably like to group these by segments of the show: GeekNews, Interview, and Questions and Answers.

So what is this called? It isn’t a transcript, it’s more like a tumblelog for a GeekSpeak show. Each entry would fall under a segment title… here is a stub:

GeekNews

Questions and Answers

Bill from San Jose- How do I fix a MPREXE caused an invalid page fault in module Kernel32.dll error? – We answer with that link.

This looks a bit like our show page now see http://geekspeak.org/shows/2006/07/22/, but the way we would build it would be a catagorized list, which would be put in time order. This would allow multiple people to add content at the same time and re-order the content.

I would love feedback on this.
