Talk:FreeCAD on Video

Update

 * April 1 2021 --- checked links: all but one seemed good will fix it. Russ

General
In the sandbox to see if there is any interest:

Columns
For now just YouTube but other platforms are more than welcome.
 * Name/Link: just comes from site of video lists
 * Author Says: For YouTube taken from the about section, authors of the site are welcome to add material here.
 * Last Tracked Video: I hate date arithmetic so it is an expression: ( date of entry ) minus ( what YouTube says was the last time).
 * Narration/Subtitles...: I usually listen to just the most recent video. If others have more time, or the author wishes to comment so much the better
 * Comments: meant to be from the FreeCad Wiki folks. Be kind, making a video is a lot of work.
 * Related Links: If the author includes links to blog website..... Sometimes results from a google search.

Should we add a column to indicate if video links to source files or other materials?

Send to Channel Author
Something like:

We have made an entry about your channel at: FreeCad on Video - FreeCAD Documentation It is a wiki so you can edit the information or you can send an email to no_spam_please_666 at comcast.net ( fix the at to @ ) to ask for changes which will, with good luck, be applied quickly and accurately.

Re: Wiki page on videos Unread postby Roy_043 » Mon Jan 11, 2021 3:38 am I would get rid of the 'Related Links' column. Some of the links seem quite 'spammy'. You should consider providing information about the subjects of the videos and perhaps also about the required experience level. I would prefer that information over what I now see in the 'Author Says' column.

Original Author Responds:

Related Links may indeed be spammy, as they are provided, mostly, by the creator of the channel. Information on video subject would be great, but these are channels not videos, the practical difficulty is extreme. There are other pages where videos are broken down by subject. If someone would like to take a couple of rows from the table and publish in this discussion along with the effort required, perhaps we could revise the whole table.

how to organize videos:


 * by video
 * by channel -- used here
 * by workbench
 * by application area
 * by type ( in the real world ) application: like robot, coat hanger.....
