= COP16 Media Site =

We've been asked by GGJ, part of an alignment of US groups participating in the global climate change movement, to help build a media portal site for the COP16/Cancun events. This page is an outline of features and tasks.

The goals of the site:

 * Pre-event: Provide information about the Alignment group and Cancun, build excitement about the event
 * During event: be a central repository of what's happening by carrying as much news/info as possible; provide logistics info for Alignment members
 * Post-event: provide direction on continue to build the movement

Features:

 * Pull in RSS and other syndicated content (should we use the built-in Drupal aggregator, or [DrupalModule:feeds feeds module] which can import items as nodes?)
  * Regular blogs from other sites
  * microblogs (twitter/identi.ca)
  * Play lists?
 * Re-publish individual media from other sites (embedded field) - wsftv.net and activist groups, but also (ug) Youtubes, flickr, etc
 * Add original blogs and photos
 * Easier account creation (maybe [DrupalModule:logintoboggan logintoboggan]?)
