Plugins and Themes for Videoblogging with WordPress 2.1 and later.
See the SourceForge project page.
A plugin to parse media metadata from a blog post. It will serve a a replacement for the serviceable, but not quite ideal enclosure detection code that is currenlty in WordPress 2.1.x. It will likely use one of the proposed Media Alternates Microformats to represent the information from standard HTML in a blog post.
Functions to simplify access to custom fields used for video meta-data. (May not be necessary.)
Red Vlog is the first theme we are developing for this project. Why? Because Lisa liked Red Train and wanted to use it as the starting point for a project. That vlog will have a custom look and feel, but we will be creating Red Vlog as a base project.
Next we would like to develop a somewhat generic, RocketBoom-influenced (of course) theme.
WordPress 2.1.x may require some
patches (which would be submitted to the WordPress project) in order to
allow our proposed Posting Plugin to replace the built-in functionality of
WordPress. The changes would be in separating enclosure processing from ping and
trackback processing and in making enclosure processing pluggable
. We
realize that our Posting Plugin (and possible microformat choice) may not be
universal, but the WordPress core should at least allow users to configure
this behavoir. (We haven't looked at WordPress 2.2 yet, so perhaps this
situation has improved.)
Should work with WordPress 2
