    "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 : 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.

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

  • in order for a subtitle to become published

      ... 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".

      "... 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
    • Claude Almansi
       
      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.

    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!

    "Draft only Showing Revision 0, created Today by Claude Almansi . " Today= June 16, 2012 - 0:52 The draft banner was added even though I completed the subs and marked them complete. After making this bookmark, I downloaded the taskblocked subs and uploaded them again. This removed the draft banner. Now there is a normal notice saying: "Showing Revision 1, created Today by Claude Almansi ."

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.

The alt and title attributes | 456 Berea Street - Roger Johansson - 2004 - 0 views

  • Use the alt attribute to provide text for visitors who, for whatever reason, can’t see the images in your document. This includes visitors using browsers that cannot display images or have image display disabled, visually impaired visitors, and screen reader users. Alt text is to be used instead of an image, not as additional information.
  • And don’t use the alt attribute for text that you want to appear as a tool tip. It’s not the way it was meant to be used, and as far as I know, it only works like that in Internet Explorer for Windows and in Windows versions of the ancient Netscape 4.*. No Mac browsers display alt text as a tool tip.
  • The title attribute can be used with all elements except for base, basefont, head, html, meta, param, script, and title, but it isn’t required for any. Maybe that’s why it’s less clear when to use it. Use this to provide additional information that is not essential. Most visual browsers display title text as a tool tip when the element is hovered over, however it is up to the browser manufacturer to decide how the title text is rendered. Some will display the text in the status bar instead. Early versions of Safari did this, for instance.

    Alternate text is not meant to be used as a tool tip, or more specifically, to provide additional information about an image. The title attribute, on the other hand, is meant to provide additional information about an element. That information is displayed as a tooltip by most graphical browsers, though manufacturers are free to render title text in other ways.
