New views of teams and users profiles

[calmansi]

Copy of message sent today to the Music Captioning team via Amara messaging:

Dear participants in Captions Requested,

Amara has enacted the new views of teams and users' profiles Dean Jansen mentioned during the Town Hall meeting on Oct. 23, 2012.

1. Teams:

1.1 The main page - in our case http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/teams/musiccaptioning/ - is now labeled "Dashboard" and differs for each of us, because it contains suggestions for subtitling activities on the team videos that are based on the languages you indicated in your personal profile.

1.2 The objective list of team videos that used to be there and that everybody sees in the same way is now in the /videos subpage - in our case http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/teams/musiccaptioning/videos/
1.3 The other team subpages - /members,  /activity /tasks (well, for teams that have enacted tasks, not for Music Captioning) and, for admins, /settings and its sub-sub-pages, seem unchanged.

2. Users' profiles

2.1 Other user's profiles

2.1.1 Links on the names of other users - e.g. in the activity subpages of a team or of a given video, or in a given set of subtitles, lead to the  /profiles/profile/(user number)/ subpage (e.g. mine is http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/profiles/profile/10595/ ), which is the "Activity" tab of the user's profile, which lists the user's last activities.

2.1.2 There is a second tab labeled "Videos" that links to the   /profiles/(username)/ videos/  subpage (e.g. mine is http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/profiles/videos/calmansi/ ) subpage, which  lists the videos the user has added to Amara.

Sometimes that   /profiles/(username)/ videos/ link gives a "page not found": just replace the user name by the user number and that should work.

2.2 Your profile

Apart from the two subpages described in 2.1, your profile also has:

2.2.1 A Personal Info subpage http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/profiles/edit/ where you can edit your profile.
Note that you can't anymore indicate your degree of proficiency in your languages there: the only way to indicate your languages - without rating them - is now the pop-up triggered by clicking on the "Select your Languages" in the second menu from the top of all Amara pages.

2.2.2 An Account subpage - http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/profiles/account/ - where you can edit your user account data.

I believe that the possibility listed there to "Sync subtitles - Send Amara-created subtitles right to your YouTube videos" is new: I haven't tried it yet, because the second stage implies agreeing to:

"Universal Subtitles is requesting permission to:
    Manage your YouTube account
    Perform these operations when I'm not using the application"

and I'm not sure I want that: first because I'd rather be the only one to manage my YT account, second because Universal Subtitles name has been officially changed to Amara in April, so the permission request should read "Amara is requesting permission" etc.

But I'm a wary 60ish digital migrant: if any of you wants to try, please post feedback in a reply to  , where I'm also posting a copy of this message.

Best,

Claude Almansi

Copy of the reply sent to day to the Music Captioning team via Amara messaging:

Dear participants of the Music Captioning team,

First, my apologies for having addressed you as participants of the Captions Requested team in my former message: I had sent the same one to the Captions Requested team and I badly edited the copypaste.

Then, about:

Nicholas Reville just wrote me that "Universal Subtitles" has now been changed to "Amara" in this text.

Best wishes for 2013,

Hi,

I have done captioning of some videos. My profile is: http://www.amara.org/en/profiles/profile/badami02/

 

I would like to make a feature request to amara. I want to see how many time my video has been viewed and how many times subtitle has been downloaded. Statistics like this could be interesting.

 

Please tell what do you think?

 

Regards.

Atique

Hi, Saint-Atique,

Indeed, the statistics you suggest would be great. In theory, the viewing stats already exist on the main page for a video. To take one example where you made subtitles,  Katie Melua - The Closest Thing to crazy - Live! HQ! presently indicates 21 views. But the stat seems stuck on that. Also, downloads stats would be very useful.

The Amara Support forum has a Your suggestions to make Amara great board: would you  post your feature request there, please?

Thanks a bunch,

Claude

Hi Claude,

Thanks. I have posted it (http://support.amara.org/support/discussions/topics/31996).

 

Regards.
