shownotes.info Launched!

Well it’s not as slick and integrated as I wanted it to be, however shownotes.info has launched. This is my general purpose wiki/shownotes site for any and all pod- and vid-casters. Basically taking the work we did with Adam Curry’s DSC and making it generally available to anyone.

It was a hard decision to launch today, because I still do not have all the features I want or things nearly as integrated as I want. But I think it’s the sort of thing where it will never be “ready” so I may as well just launch. I’m hoping a lot of people start using it so I can get additional feedback which can drive development.

Certain things I know we need – like an RSS feed generator. Others may want features I’m sure I haven’t even thought of yet. I do have a short list of features that are on my “nice to have” list, so we’ll see how soon I can get those cranked out.

I’ve stuck with MediaWiki as the backend wiki, and put up a Joomla site as the introduction/splash screen. Again it’s not as integrated as I want but hey..it’s a work in progress. Now all I need are tons of eager users. So everyone reading this, go sign up and send me feedback! :-)

  • Hey Dossy-

    You know, we never did end up getting that drink when you were in town on business.

  • Crap, I was just thinking about this idea (wiki for collaborative podcast transcription) yesterday and now see you've beaten me to it!

    Good luck ... I'm curious to see if the idea has any legs. I think it should, but that doesn't mean it will, unfortunately. :-)
