#56: Request for multimedia icons

Now that the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraStudio
FedoraStudio feature] is [https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/191
accepted by FESCo] we are in need of new icons.
The Audio&Video/Multimedia desktop menu is being categorized. For each
submenu entry we are requesting new icons. Some are pretty
straightforward, whereas some are more left to imagination.
Currently for the [http://oget.fedorapeople.org/multimedia-menus/ test
package], I borrowed icons from other projects. I will replace these icons
with the ones produced here.
Here is a list of what we need and some explanation:
* Capture&Import icon: This is a general group of applications for
capturing/importing all sorts of media: Audio streams, Video streams,
sound recording with a mic, ripping CD's DVD's, TV broadcasts...
* Creation icon: An icon for the top menu which will contain other media
creation applications listed below. Very open to imagination :)
* Digital processing icon: This group contains audio/video effect
applications. Synthesizer applications. An idea for the icon would be a
foot pedal musicians use (like a distortion pedal).
* Editors icon: Audio editors, video editors, soundfont editors...
Basically, applications that can be use existing data to create some
output.
* Jack icon: JACK (Jack Audio Connection Kit) using applications. These
are wide range applications, primarily used for audio creation. An audio
jack connector (like the one you plug into the electric guitar) is an idea
for the icon.
* MIDI icon: MIDI using applications. Again wide range, but a MIDI
keyboard sounds like an idea.
* Sequencer/Multitrack recorder icon: An icon for the group of multitrack
sequencers, digital audio workstations.
* Notation icon: Icon for the group of musical notation applications.
* Mixer icon: Group of software mixers. Like pulseaudio control, kmix,
gnome mixer...
* Output generation icon: Very wide range and quite open to imagination.
The applications that are covered by this group are audio/video streamers,
format changers, CD/DVD burners, subtitle editors. In terms of
functionality, this one is kind of opposite to the "Capture&Import" group.
* Tools icon: Helper applications that usually do not do anything with
multimedia data. Such as instrument tuner, metronome...
* Player icon: An icon for audio/video players group.
This makes 12 icons. I know it is a long list but is there a chance we can
have these by F-12?
Very many thanks!

It would be nice to have some graphics built that represent a simplified
overview of some complex fedora tasks to take the eye sting away from
pages of text processes. An idea for the packaging process perhaps:
- think of an oval football ground, where the viewer is standing at near
the foci of one end. She sees a path curving from past left extent of
vision, around to the right extent of vision. The viewpoint should be
above the ground, and the perspective should be apparent.
The breakdown is shown as graphical items rising out of the path, perhaps
with additional arrows to indicate flow of additional tasks / information:
{{{
- choose a software project
- start a template spec file
- gathering information
- understanding packaging guidelines
- configure local rpmbuild
- local build
- local rpmlint
- local package test (iteration over last few items)
- create package review bug
- - paths of new packagers taking tentative steps
- - paths of existing packagers indicating review of spec
- respond / improve package based on comments, iteration (circle)
- performing semi/reviews of other packages
- community approval of package
- cvs request / import
- build request (to successful build) iteration
- update system requests
- published package
- - bugs / feedback / updates iteration
}}}
Try to indicate the communication and community involvement during the
stages.
I have no idea how you would represent in nice graphic form any of those
items.
An image that fits into say 800x 600 (active content area for a 1024x768
display) could be a useful size, but might be too small for definition of
any step icons to be usable.
? Can the wiki provide imagemap like links that could jump to the specific
task detailed descriptions.

mizmo, in https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/54:
"it would be nice to use the category image functionality of zikula in our
insight articles (it's kind of similar to how slashdot has different icons
for different story categories)"
This work has actually been done, but not documented - so the task in this
ticket is to look at the marketing ticket and write up a HOWTO for the
design team so that anyone from the design team can work with category
images in the future; contact the folks who did the original work if
needed.

#90: no way to cleanly associate images with articles in insight - using ugly
hack

from mizmo, formerly at https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/52
(see discussion there)
afaik the way zikula is currently configured there is no way to cleanly
associate images with articles in insight. i'll try to break this down
clearly:
* our zikula instance currently does not allow for uploading and
hosting images. so you need to upload your images and host them from
somewhere external to zikula.
* when people see images they are interested in on the front page of
insight, they are going to want to be able to click the image to zoom in
on it. right now that isn't possible without handwritten html. you need to
upload a thumb version and a full size version of the image externally,
then wrap the img tag of the thumb with a link tag to point out to the
full size image. and that is hacky.
* the mechanism for displaying images on the front page is extremely
fragile. you need to put the img tag for the article as the VERY FIRST
thing in the 'lead page teaser' field of the article. if you dont it can
mess up how it comes out looking. also, you CANNOT add an img tag in the
'lead page teaser' field of an article that is in the 'featured stories'
area to the left of mmcgrath's picture on the top - it will blow
everything up.
