This page describes new sites for aegisub.
www.aegisub.org
- To be added (it's almost done)
share.aegisub.org
Purpose
- Share aegisub related media
- Automation scripts
- Shapes
- Scripts?
- Eg. common typeset sign examples or other misc templates/tips/tricks
Requirements
- User signup
- Captcha + email verify.
- Moderation
- User signup is not moderated however any new postings must clear a moderation process before posting
- "Share Page"
- An item agnostic way to display multiple different items.
- Changelog support
- Unlike the aegisub line-item version this will be a user-formatted text blob, we'll support simple wiki markup no HTML or links.
- Comments
- User signup required no anonymous posting in order to avoid flamewars. comments will be non-moderated with only moderators being able to remove specific comments.
- Voting
- Simple 5 star voting, only users may vote.
- Auto-generated previews.
- Previews generated automatically using vsfilter and libass
- Each preview must have the renderer version so if a bug is fixed new previews can be generated showing a value of historical differences.
- JSON API for aegisub. (REST)
- Allow for an in-program browser in aegisub so users can see examples and automatically insert them.
- Auto-update of installed resources.
gallery.aegisub.org
This will use most of the backend from share.aegisub.org
Purpose
- Popularity contest.
- No sense in avoiding what this would essentially be...
- Show Karaoke videos.
- Still images? perhaps to show a one-shot effect, sign or whatever
Requirements
See details in the share.aegisub.org
- User signup.
- Moderation
- Comments
- Voting
- Support for chaining images, ie, before -> after, start -> next -> next -> next -> end for sequences.
Considerations
- Legality
- For video sequences the legality of using footage varies
- Perhaps we could limit the viewport to the spot where the karaoke is.
- Non-issue for single-shot still images. (we hope)
- Plagiarism
- Unscrupulous users may take someone elses work to call their own, or use it with slight modification.
- Auto-post from share.aegisub.org
- Is it wise to automatically post images from the share site to the gallery, with a link back to the source? Or should this be a separate thing.
Conclusion
- Shutting down the site if it becomes a problem for any reason is OK, unlike share.aegisub.org which will be integral to the application.
