If we take a flow approach to this, we can get started now - there
isn't really an interview phase (where all interviews are done) - they
happen as required (with as much co-ordination as possible with a
distributed group of volunteers!). But it means that we should see
stuff coming through at a steady pace and can evolve the content
quickly.
As for a cut off date - I agree we need one for the exhibition - but
not convinced for one in filtering. There is a cut off for final
exhibition editing - by which time all video content that we will have
in the conference exhibition will need to be in (I'm setting this July
26th - a week before the conference starts). Although in practice we
would be compiling the exhibition as video comes in, so its not a big
bang at the end.
If I re-order the list based on geography and get every (in groups of
4) to vote on the women's stories as introduced, we can get a
generally sound order. Then we split into pairs and start at the top
and work our way down. Each pair can take one introduction all the way
to the end. The end being either a face2face interview, a remote video
interview, a phone interview or writing an inspiring account of the
women's story (with pictures) for the website.
Right now, with the numbers we have, we can start 3-4 stories. My
instinct is that these will not all be face2face and typically should
take about a week to complete (the non face2face ones). Its just
instinct :)
Please let me know what you think.
