I think \"give us your station's ID in Core Publisher and the content API, and we'll port things from there\" would be an *awesome* way to get people onto the platform.\r\n\r\nAs an outsider to the domain of pubradio, I don't know how much each of the provided tools do or do not do, but trying to work with them rather than replace them seems like it'd be a good idea. I wasn't able to see if Core Publisher or its ilk have open code or if they're just open API.\r\n\r\nI'd rather enhance existing tools than replace existing ways to do things. If we want a wiki format, why not configure a common pubradio wiki rather than build Yet Another Wiki App? I think the station page idea is killer, but I think we should try to stay away from writing a wiki.\r\n\r\nI'd much rather have the content on the site be community-curated tutorials with titles like \"How to integrate FooCloud with FooRecordingThingy\" both because it's more valuable to users and because it protects us from reimplementing wikipedia. Giving folks a blank text field will probably end up with less useful content than starting them with a tutorial template. \r\n\r\n[nprds]: http://digitalservices.npr.org/"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mediapublic/mediapublic/issues/comments/129871290","html_url":"https://github.com/mediapublic/mediapublic/issues/34#issuecomment-129871290","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mediapublic/mediapublic/issues/34","id":129871290,"user":{"login":"melodykramer","id":5784474,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5784474?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/melodykramer","html_url":"https://github.com/melodykramer","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melodykramer/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melodykramer/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melodykramer/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melodykramer/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melodykramer/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melodykramer/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melodykramer/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melodykramer/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melodykramer/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-08-11T13:23:58Z","updated_at":"2015-08-11T13:23:58Z","body":"Hey @ryansb - let's talk about this tonight. There's less out there than you'd think, and I think we were envisioning this initially as something that could work [like this](http://ohanapi.org/), that is, stations could update information (and have more access) than the general public.\r\n\r\nCP doesn't have open code or an open API. I don't think we're thinking Wiki as much as something that functions [like this](https://github.com/18F/hub/) - I'm also in agreement to stay away from wikis: they're not updated, they become obsolete, and I'd rather have people just put stuff in Wikipedia.\r\n\r\nI think there are five potential areas for each station section: people, podcasts/shows, code, tutorials/learnings and how they could use help. Happy to say more on the call tonight. \r\n\r\n(We also have a spreadsheet that has much of the information NPR has - volunteers helped us collect it several months ago.)"}}
