Opencast Website Makeover

Earlier this month, we launched the new Opencast website at www.opencastproject.org. While this website has been a resource for the Opencast Community, many of you expressed difficulty finding Matterhorn related project information. Based on your excellent feedback, Matterhorn has more of a presence on the site. In particular, please note two new sections about Matterhorn:

• Matterhorn Project Getting Started Guides
  These guides will address the more common questions about Matterhorn, and will be kept up-to-date as the front-line resources.

• Matterhorn Features & Functionality
  This is the feature list - the vision for Matterhorn 1.0 - to provide a high level understanding of what Matterhorn will do.

In addition to providing key information about Matterhorn, this site will most importantly support the mission of the Opencast Community: "to offer guidance and information to help others choose the best approach for the delivery and usage of rich media online."

To support the Community in this mission, we have added a new section - the Community Resource Exchange - which offers a new way to share resources among the Community. It's a space for the community to share publications, reference materials, best practices, showcases, and products - for you to share your experience and learn from others. Please consider contributing to the Resource Exchange!

With a new navigation structure, we hope the Community will be able to more easily locate and contribute meaningful resources more easily than before, such as:

• Community Calendar - stay up to date with what is going on in the Opencast Community and the Matterhorn project.
• Presentations - at your disposal to quickly learn more and re-use for your own purposes.
• Directory of Organizations - get to know the Opencast Community.
