Amara Support Center : What's a "Task" and why does it matter? - 0 views

  • in order for a subtitle to become published
    • Claude Almansi
       
      ... for a set of subtitles...
  • on a team
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Not only "to be published on a team": to be published at all.
  • The types of tasks required for publishing varies among teams.
    • Claude Almansi
       
      Either "The types... vary" or "The type... varies".
    • Claude Almansi
       
      "... varies from team to team" rather than "varies among teams".
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • There are four different types of tasks:
    • Claude Almansi
       
      This list should be reworded in better, simpler English.
  • You’re going to want to find an unassigned task, which means that no one else is working on it at the moment.
    • Claude Almansi
       
      The Tasks tab links to the /tasks/?assignee=none page anyway, which only shows unassigned tasks
    • Claude Almansi
       
      This also means that once someone has started working on a task, it doesn't appear anymore in the page linked to by the Tasks tab.
  • which can vary by team

      What should be done when a team hasn't configured a due date, and thus tasks remain assigned indefinitely to the person who started it?

Amara Support Center : Joining Teams - 0 views

  • The three processes for joining a team is
    • Claude Almansi
       
      ... are
  • one of the team members will need to invite you first
    • Claude Almansi
       
      A team where joining is by invitation only is hardly likely to let any member invite other people. So an explanation on how to use the filter to find the team's admins might be useful, especially in large teams that often have totally inactive admins.

"Michael Moore on the Rachel Maddow Show - Part 1 (11/3/11)" with English subtitles | A... - 0 views

  •  
    "Showing Revision 3, created Yesterday by Avatar of Claude Almansi . " Yesterday = June 9, 2011 (?) "Avatar of Claude Almansi" is not a member of the Occupy Wall Street team. When viewing these subs signed in as this Avatar, only "Revision 0 - 02/07/2012 - by Claude Almansi" was showing, made 4 months before the Amara software started taskblocking videos. There was a "Roll back to this version" button, so I used it to see what would happen. The reversion removed the "Draft only Showing Revision 2, created 06/07/2012 by Claude Almansi . " banner of the former revision and reactivated the formerly disabled Edit Subtitles link. Of course, it also suppressed the subs that had been added in Revisions 1 and 2. All revisions can be viewed by admins (perhaps also managers members) of the team but they cannot roll back to any of them. The task added by the Amara software to these subtitles at the time of Revision 1 remains: "Transcribe English Subtitles Video: Michael Moore on the Rachel Maddow Show - Part 1 (11/3/11) (08:23) Subtitles: latest draft transcribed by Avatar of Claude Almansi" Comment: In this case, I control both "Claude Almansi" and "Avatar of Claude Almansi" users, and I saved the Revision 2 subtitles as Claude Almansi (admin at Music Captioning) before reverting to Revision 0 with the avatar (not member of the team). But the same rolling back could be done on any taskblocked subs of the team by any Amara user who is not a member of it, thus making successive work unavailable

    14/06/2012 The situation remains identical: as admin, I can't roll back to the version preceding the one in which, as a non member, I rolled back to version0

"WHERE DREAMS FLY" with translated French subtitles | Amara - 0 views

  •  
    "Draft only Subtitles translated from English. Showing Revision 0, created Yesterday by sophiavhr ." yesterday= June 9, 2012 (?) Amara software added banner, disabled Edit video link, didn't assign any task for these subs. The "View tasks for this video" link under the player of the main page leads to http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/teams/musiccaptioning/tasks/?team_video=16890, which says "Sorry no tasks here". And no task for the video is listed in the general task page of the Music Captioning team - http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/teams/musiccaptioning/tasks - either. June 12, 2012: issues persist

Amara Support Center : How can I decline a task - 0 views

  • How can I decline a task
    • Claude Almansi
       
      This is still the page that was already obsolete when I submitted the ticket http://support.universalsubtitles.org/support/tickets/2176 for it on June 25, 2012 closed unanswered by Darren Bridenbeck on July 29, 2012. Here is the ticket's content: TED videos are a very particular case, because TED wants workflowed tasks, has provided for them in the settings, and has an external-to-Amara communication support. The problem I have is with tasks arbitrarily imposed by the Amara software in groups that don't want them and whose settings don't foresee them. What happens if I delete such a task? Does it get reassigned to an admin working for Amara, or at random to any other participant of the group, possibly already struggling with Amara-arbitrarily-imposed tasks her/himself? Then your screenshot also shows the Reassign option: that option does not appear to the assignee if s/he is a member. I don't know about managers, not having yet been hit by an Amara imposed task in a team where I am one. Moreover: in http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/teams/newshour/tasks/ , there is a task assigned to me to "Transcribe English Subtitles" of http://www.universalsubtitles.org/videos/4cQljmM3piqA/info/watch-marco-rubios-full-speech-on-immi…, without a link to the latest draft, because Amara also fully deleted that draft, which amounted to the transcript of the first 9 min+ of the video (the 2 revisions I made are still mentioned in the activity stream in my dashboard page, over 9 hours after that arbitrary deletion). For that task, the drop-down menu only offers me two options: Start Now or Upload Draft. No way to decline it. So if you insist on having screenshots about tasks, you should have one for each of the fanciful ways Amara presents tasks to people, and use a video added to a normal team where tasks are arbitrarily imposed by Amara, not a video added to TED where tasks are a choice.

    "Username fernandotakai Member since Feb. 29, 2012, 2:41 p.m. About User has not submitted a bio. Memberships arthur-test Music Captioning" fernandotakai is listed as admin of Music Captioning team, but his joining was not recorded in the Activity page of the team. According to what seems to be his LinkedIn profile http://www.linkedin.com/pub/fernando-takai/14/976/48 he is "Senior Software Engineer at Participatory Culture Foundation". This would explain how his joining MC was not recorded in the Activity page. And his joining seems likely to have something to do with Amara's attempt to solve the task blocking issue.

Amara Support Center : Setting up your account - 0 views

  • Go to http://www.amara.org
    • Claude Almansi
       
      So Amara has acquired http://www.amara.org since May 2012, according to a whois. Yet the link still redirects to http://www.universalsubtitles.org
  • You can either create an account directly through Amara, or if you can access Amara with any of your twitter, OpenID, Google, facebook, or TED logins.
    • Claude Almansi
       
      It should read: "... or you can access Amara..." (without "if")
  • hover over the “me” link in the upper righthand corner of any page in Amara
    • Claude Almansi
       
      The link is not called "me" but people's usernames.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Was this article useful? Yes or No
    • Claude Almansi
       
      If you click "No", you are invited to submit a ticket. And Amara has now decided to close all tickets and ask users to use the forum instead. So something must be changed: either this forum-only policy, or the link on "No" in the feedback dialogue.
  • You can add multiple languages
    • Claude Almansi
       
      "You can add further languages" would be clearer.

    jakov September 18, 2011 @ 05:15 PM via web Hi there! It would be great to have the subtitles also in full screen mode (e.g. over youtube videos). Maybe there could be a toggle button for this? Support Staff 2 Posted by Craig Zheng on September 23, 2011 @ 08:18 PM This is one we've been working on. Hope to have it ready soon! 3 Posted by jakov on September 27, 2011 @ 06:10 PM looking forward to this ;) 4 Posted by Jason on September 28, 2011 @ 11:53 PM hasn't this feature been available in the past? Support Staff 5 Posted by m.shamraeva on November 18, 2011 @ 08:55 AM Not yet, I am afraid. Sorry for the inconvenience and please stay tuned for updates!

"Trapped in Technology - Pilot" with Italian subtitles | Amara - 0 views

  •  
    "Draft only Showing Revision 0, created 06/08/2012 by Margherita Martignoni ." Amara software added this banner, disactivated the Edit subtitles link, but didn't add a task for these subs. Video added to Music Captioning team Margherita Martignoni is not a member of Music Captioning: she therefore cannot have caused the task that caused the banner etc. June 12, 2012: issues persist
  •  
    June 14, 2012: issue persists, but then this link didn't get transfered to this Multimedia Accessibility group with the my other links tagged taskblocked, so these subs didn't undergo the manual fix that removed the Amara task blocks in the other subs. I am able to enter the widget version of the subs by main page via Start a new translation in the main page, then choosing Subtitle into Italian (100%) (normal link, not grayed) Directly from video (more work) I was able to change a few things, but though I saved the subs marking them as complete, the banner is still there. I.e. the "lying to the software" workaround indicated in http://support.universalsubtitles.org/categories/6573/forums/28027/topics/4905 only works to prevent the taskblocking, but cannot remove it.
