Let's Talk (TM)

Let's Talk (TM) is a space for new ideas, which are not yet ready for detailed specification. Everybody is welcome to contribute. Technical issues are not explicitly forbidden but should be really postponed to the next phase. Here we ask and answer question WHAT, not HOW

To-Do's

things that benefit everyone ( Feel free to do/ comment/ add)

  • More detail on Creative Commons policy - which parts of KA are CC licensed? Just the content, the entire site format, the images on the site, badges...?
  • Technical feature /feasibility quick-study of "Curriculum by assignments" as outlined here Dirty_Curriculum
  • Video:Videoediting/ dubbing/ remakes for dummies , put this together in coherent package
  • Explanation of how Chameleon will function for creating Localized Curriculums, if at all [Jake/ Jess/ Anthony]
  • ETA for real curriculum mapping for countries for test (handful), beta (10-20) Real: Everyone. is it 2017 or -18 or later
  • what to do in what order as new language. i.e New Advocate handbook,( Has been started by Jessica)
  • create a good checklist for new countries ( steps to take to get a flying start to project)
  • Outline what and how we are allowed to market using KA material, can Advocates be considered fair users of KA material in localization process
  • how to run a crowdfunding campaign
  • Create/ find a video( approx 50-120 secs) that can be used as crowdfunding or marketing video blank, for all countries, to possibly be voiced over, or that works as is...
  • internal communication flow in advocate community ( tools, process)
    •  ?possibly Deprected?Explain the steps, resources and work (Man-hours) needed to create a localized Curriculum as has been done in Spanish. This will enable countries who may have funds / or resources to choose this alternative, rather than wait for the real curriculum mapping feature
  • What is the most useful/ free tool chain to handle on boarding/volunteer/ donor/ partner/school/ teacher management: Signups on homepage ( capture) & enter data into CRM based( free?) system & send automated welcome mail & followup mails& send newsletters/ hangout meeting bookings etc. what else do we need? keep track of crowdin ID and ( maybe too hard: deliveries)... ( Answer could be: mailchimp+ civicdm or something like that, if it works)

Done

  • DONE! Added short description of dAlEK, a system to manage and simplify a team's translation process wiki
  • DONE! Video:Intro to Crowd-in and how to translate( screen capture) Translate Khan Academy on Crowdin- Basics
  • DONE! Video:How to use Find/ replace feature in Crowd-in Intro to Crowd-in (Screen Capture) Find Replace on Crowdin
  • DONE! Video: Presentation on Curriculum Spec and implementing by leveraging Assignments, as suggested alternative, To be evaluated (Screen Capture) Curriculum spec/ Assignments
