Things to do and ideas to explore re info / reporting line

To Do / questions?

  • look into audio blogging and maybe using it for the info line latest news feature
  • research re-purposing asterisk voice mail as a way to do 'latest news' on info line
  • see if there are better ways of doing text to speech or should we avoid it?
  • can callers send texts to basterisk? and how would that be useful if possible?
  • what use can we make of 'unlimited' texts? (something comms might find useful?)
  • could we do a 'useful numbers request' text back service?
  • phone based access to camp radio stream? is that stupid? (for listening maybe, but not the other way round)
  • any way to make conference rooms more useful in our context? (by combing them with text message invites?)
  • what can twitter do? can people set up unmoderated twitters?
  • how can we asterisk call logging as a tool for dispatch? (using grep and pipes?)
  • what can we do with skypephones, 4000 free minutes and skype to sip?

(send it out in the field for free access to blasterisk (via voxeo) for audio blogging/reports?) (use it as a roaming microphone/outdoor broadcast unit for the radio?)


General Ideas

  • using twitter to announce important more detailed news on infoline
  • twitter announced teleconferencing for working groups / affinity groups
  • group voice mail for working groups / affinity groups
  • audio blogs for individuals / affinity groups
  • automated questionnaire for arrest reporting
  • provide a call back service to legal support team / medics


info line specific ideas

  • days news summary (different from latest news)
  • todays workshops broken down into morning / afternoon
  • next workshops and locations
  • next meal - planned menus for each neighborhood
  • site wish list (useful before people arrive perhaps)
  • site job list (useful during the camp itself perhaps)
  • audio press statements?
  • reporting line guidelines / howto
  • tide times and weather
