[kwlug-disc] Website Wishlist

[B.S.]

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to note your thoughts / 're'examine what www.kwlug.org should be.

Seems to me I saw something a while back about YouTube now automatically generating closed captions, absent otherwise explicitly specified caption source.

Transcription (at this level?) is voice recognition?

Is there some FOSS out there to which a video is played to and a '.srt' auto-generated?

Never having done this sort of thing, perhaps it is a better init than starting from scratch? (Seems to me I've seen comments where trying to correct badly done voice recognition generated documents is so onerous that some preferred to start from scratch on their own / typing it all themselves.)

There's a wiki?

If not, it seems arguable that there should be.

It also seems arguable as to why limit it to FLOSS in the region, and arguable that it could be open to and replace member blogs? Making cross-linking (wikiwords / #hashtags?) easier, and perhaps even auto-cross-referencing?
