The site will have special tools for versioning, incentives for<br>different types of collaboration, and all subtitles created here will be<br>available in any context via our open protocol. The site will exist to<br>encourage dynamics like:<br><br> - Formation of teams for subtitling a program, or a topic.<br> - Tracking which subtitling or translation tasks are the
most requested,<br> and mobilizing volunteers.<br> - Volunteers recruiting their friends for help transcribing or<br> translating a video.<br> - Splitting large tasks into smaller parts<br><br><br><br>-- <br>Centro de Tecnologia e Sociedade<br>FGV Direito Rio<br><br>Center of Technology and Society<br>Getulio Vargas Foundation<br>Rio de Janeiro - Brazil<br><br><br><br>-- <br>Centro de Tecnologia e Sociedade<br>FGV Direito Rio<br><br>Center of Technology and Society<br>Getulio Vargas Foundation<br>Rio de Janeiro - Brazil<br><br><br><br>--------------------------------------------------------<br>End of governance Digest Mon, 19 Apr 2010<br><br>____________________________________________________________<br>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<br> <a ymailto="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org" href="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org">governance@lists.cpsr.org</a><br>To be removed from the list, send
